Help with Booking Business Class Return Flights to Europe

[Forg]

If people still interested in awards to Europe in August 2025 still some availability on QR BKK-DOH-MAN. I have just booked ours through AA for 120000 miles and $A120 instead of BA at 150000 Avios and $A728 for the 2 of us.

AA before BA ... it's an alphabetical certainty after all!

I am going to Lisbon in May and have been looking for that - If you fly out of South East Asia it is much much cheaper. Business Sydney-Lisbon is around the $10-11K return mark.

Out of Singapore, Hong Kong or KL, it about $3900 return in business on Qatar or Turkish. If you can get yourself to one of these with an award flight or even a day economy flight for around $800-1000 on QF you save a motza.

And QF have CR J seats MEL-HKG in July/Aug return if that is of interest to anyone here.

Yes I have been having a look at a few major airline websites. At present most Business class flights are above $10,000 return to Australia. I'm hoping for lower than that.
No real fares at present.

We are in Perth and fly to Europe once a year. 10k is nuts for BC. We now fly on points or buy a seat down the back and buy return flights from Singapore. Picked up our flights for July next year Singapore, Athens, Istanbul, Singapore, in BC for $4200. If i could just get BC classic flight to and from Singapore it would be perfect. Not one single normal classic BC rewards flight from now till end of their calendar. 100k points each for one way BC ticket. Not blowing 400k for a 5hr flight. This now seems to be the norm since the new availability of BC rewards came in. Use to be 57k points each way. In 10 years never been able to snag a BC rewards flight to Europe out of Perth. Starting to feel like FF is a bit of a rort.

Could try different FF programme. We've frequently used SIA awards both BC and economy to various Asian ports.
