I’m looking at trying to get to Nairobi or JRO in late December, return early Jan, ex SYD

I know it’s peak season

Are there any tricks for cheap J flights ? I looked at starting in KUL/CGK/MNL/BKK but it wasn’t hugely different to just starting in Sydney after accounting for the extra flight…
 
 
How much are you looking at QR has a sale on at the moment and leaving 24/12 and coming back in January the cheapest is ~ 11500. But same flights booking with VA is ~10800. Both use the VA wet lease planes coming back.

Though if you have Avianca Life Miles only 48000 miles BKK-NBO flying TK..
Seeing this I looked at TK cash prices and SYD-BKK-IST-NBO departing 24/12 and I just looked at 14/1 and it came back as $10,300. I didn't check any other dates so might be a little cheaper.
Other star airlines are dearer.
