Award redemption advice

[shufflingfeet]

Hello
I am looking at booking an award redemption flight Sydney - London - Sydney in April 2017. My question is there is availability for both business or first for the London - Sydney flight home. It is 64000 extra points to fly first. The flight over only has economy available.
I currently fly economy (sob sob) but this fight I will be flying solo without the family. What would you do?
The crash back into economy on the next family holiday will be harder from First but gee it would be fun...

Book it now - if you hesitate it will be gone. Twenty odd hours on an aircraft is never fun, flying in F makes it quite a bit easier.

Book it. So worth the points.

Just do it - if you never do it again then at least you've done it once - don't even hesitate!!

We are slightly concerned about your sluggishness in booking a F award to LHR. It should be instant. We shall cut you some slack...this time....:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

The problem and its a big problem is how much time you will allocate to sleep time. Sleep = miss out on the F service - an opportunity cost Im afraid.

Surely I can test out everything in 22 hours. Given I rarely sleep on the plane I am happy for this to change for this flight.

If you can't sleep in F, then something's wrong :shock:.

The drinks will help with that too.
