Says to check on Google flights then book on MH website paying in Thai Baht.

Nice find! $460AUD but a 9 hours overnight layover on the outbound flight.

Why don't you sleep in the MH J lounge? Apparently they got relaxation rooms for J customers? I slept in the transit hotel it's cough. Room is hot and the mattress is cough

Nice find! Thanks.

I booked it. No over-nights in KUL needed for me. But it's a 2 day min return restriction. So 2 nights in HKG. Cost was THB 12710 which is showing as AUD 481.88 on my credit card.

It earns (I think!) 280 QFF SCs.

Which routing? BKK-KUL in business now earns only 40 SCs.

Ah. Great Circle says it's 754 miles.

501 - 750 earns 40 SCs
751 - 1500 earns 60 SCs

Qantas has it under 750 miles. Perhaps 747 miles?

Yes they do. 749 miles!! (according to the QF Earning Points Calculator). 2 miles short!

In that case BKK-KUL-HKG return earns 240 SCs in business class.

Out of interest which hotel? I found it OK for the price.

This one works to PVG and PEK as well. Not that familiar with QF SCs, but one way KUL-PVG nets 140 BA TPs, so the whole trip BKK-KUL-PVG-KUL-BKK should give you 360 TPs or 0.64 TP per AUD. Pretty good value!

John it's the sama sama express, airside not the premium one outside the terminal

Anyone know if I can add a KUL stop with this fare? I have business in BKK, HKG & KUL (mostly KUL)...

Assuming you have 4~ from elsewhere, I would think a requalify for Gold would result.

Happy wandering

And 7 gets you Platinum from scratch.

Makes Platinum look cheap?

Looks like this ones over. I had a look and could see $500 EK "J" fares direct though. No SCs though.
