Half trip with points?

[Curious]

Hi, another question if you can help. Just returned from Perth London return and though lucky to have a spare seat between us in economy still fancy business for trip next year. Only problem is 340,000 points not enough!. Do you know of a way to book the Perth to Dubai return with the 280,000 points required and go Dubai London return in economy?
I see we could book the 2 trips as seperate but the QF Dubai London return is about the same as the Perth London economy price on sale at around $1500 each.

There are a whole raft of options out there... if you are willing to fly to Asia (either paid fare or using points) you can pick up business class from there to Europe for anywhere between $1800 and $2500 return. That's on a range of airlines including Finnair, Sri Lankan, Qatar, Vietnam Airlines. All with full flat beds and at least three of them earning you more QFFF points. Pricing varies depending which of those airlines has a sale and your departure point (which can include SIN, BKK, KUL).
