Hello everyone,
I would like to fly to Bangkok late October 2019 (must be there for 30 October) and spend about a week, with my partner.
I have approx 150k Qantas points and about the same for Velocity. Qantas will probably increase a bit between now and when we leave, maybe by 20k-30k.
What is the best way to fly Business, utilising some points if possible?
- Should I buy economy on Jetstar and use Qantas points to upgrade to Biz?
- Buy some more Velocity points and have enough for two one-way Award flights?
- Any other options?
Only Thai and Jetstar seem to fly direct (my preference) and current fares seem to be about $4k each on Thai and $2k each on Jetstar. I know the latter is more like Premium Economy than true business.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
