I found a one way BKK - Western Europe in January for A$1900, one stop, no lounge access, Class J.
Would that be classified as cheap?
Also OneWorld carrier, Western Europe one stop J to Tokyo for A$2400, is it cheap or there's cheaper?

Cheap by ex Oz standards. But if you’re after OW, then QR and CX ex CGK are some of the cheapest. We’re in the middle of a trip using CX after we cancelled QR.

Even QR Lite fare ($3-$3.5k return) you’ll still get lounge access at CGK and DOH as WP. CX is closer to $4.5k ret (I Just booked one on Trip.com - slightly cheaper than direct but I could pay in AUD and earned QFF points). CX uses the much better lounge at CGK.

One downside to CX is you might get the regional J seat on CGK<->HkG. This trip it’s full flat on the tour sectors including one Aria. The trip I just booked for next year (CGK-HKG-BCN/MUC-HKG-CGK) has regional config on both the short hops..hopefully that changes (it’s months away).

Have you had to do yur own flight change at CGK?
Do you need to pay any fee or have the health declaration to leave airside to collect bags and check in again?
