HELP - using points to Europe

[lmere12]

Please if any has any suggestions ! i have been trying to get frequent flyer seats to any city of Europe or London on the 26th June'10 (day either side). I can get bangkok to to london but can't get out of this country. I am from Cairns but happy to go any city in Oz really. Also happy for economy/business whichever!! all suggestions appreciated

Suggest you call - may be some seats on CX which are not viewable online.
Maybe a cheapie Jetstar/Tiger fare to get you to SIN/BKK.

Sometimes it is worth the 2500 point fee to call - there are often options to redeem the points on Cathay (via HKG).

Alternative to go JQ to BKK.

Edit: moa999 beat me to it.

Thanks guys for response. I have booked by phone - cns-tokyo (jetstar) overniting then tokyo - amsterdam. this was the only way i could get there. otherwise had to wait 2 days and go with cathay overniting hong kong. not sure if made the right choice - we'll see...!
