Though not as interesting as some of Matt's exploits we do try to get to S.E Asia, usually Singapore, as cheaply as possible and then travel J class onwards to Europe.
For example on our trip to the German Christmas Markets last year we flew Perth to Singapore in QF Y Exit Row seats and then flew to Germany and return on Vietnam Airlines in J. This involved tranitting Hanoi on the way there and Saigon on the return trip. The last leg back to Perth from Sin was a points redemption in SQ J. We had originally booked MH and Oman Air in J for an excellent fare but Oman Air cancelled our flights and offered no sensible replacement. Previously we have used QR and AY flights out of Singapore after getting there in ScootPlus. These fares are usually around $5,000 to $7,000 cheaper than for the two of us to fly J out of Perth.
Coming out of Perth we do have limited choices.
