Technically starting my 2019 trip in 2018 by flying out on the 24th Dec. But not returning until 27th Jan, so we'll say this is a 2019 trip 
The whole trip has been booked for 2 pax using points.
Trip is as follows:
24 Dec QF J BNE-MEL, then EK F MEL-SIN. This will be my first ever F flight, so massively looking forward to it! The fees were the same price for J, so thought why not burn an extra few thousand points and enjoy. Also, I wanted to fly on the A380, so that's why we're going via MEL. In Singapore we're staying at the So Sofitel which looks lovely from the pics, so I' hoping it lives up to expectations. Singapore will be all about eating and architecture. I love this city - minus the humidity...
27 Dec SG J SIN-HND. This will be my first A350 flight, so also looking forward to that.
Between Dec 27 and Jan 21 travel around Japan visiting friends and places from Nagasaki in the south all the way up to Kushiro in Hokkaido. Still working out the finer details, but will keep it fairly loose and mostly go with the flow. I used to live in Japan, but this is my partner's first time, so I'll be playing tour guide.
21 Jan CX F NRT-HKG. As I'm starting the trip with my first ever F experience, I thought I'd keep it going and compare it between the different carriers. This will also be my first ever Cathay flight. In Hong Kong we're splitting our five days over two places. The first two nights are at the Ritz Carlton. I generally love Ritz Carltons and this one has been on my bucket list since it was built! As it's so bloody expensive, the next three nights will be across on Hong Kong Island at the Grand Hyatt. Similar to Singapore, Hong Kong will be all about the food! It'll be my first time, so my partner will be playing tour guide for me. And then begins the trip home.
26 Jan SQ F HKG-SIN on the 777 and then SQ F SIN-SYD on the A380 in the old suites.
27 Jan QF J SYD-BNE and we're home.
All up I've cashed in 324k QF points for all flights on QF, EK and CX, and 246k SQ points. Seriously time to start collecting for the trip after this one!
I'll be in the position to do a great comparison between the F product of three different airlines and that product on four different aircraft. Needless to say, I cannot wait!
