Advice please of how to get the cheapest business ticket on decent airlines from Asia to Europe return to nest inside our One World award.

For context: We booked a One World Business award for the two of us with the last leg being SYD-HKG (2mths) HKG-SYD next year. The rest of the trip is this year (actually on it now).

At the time of booking, HKG was the best choice to finish off the ticket with total mileage just shy of 35k. We had planned to maybe return to China and Japan. However, we're now thinking of going to Europe instead of China as we're having second thoughts even though aspects of China was beautiful, we found it quite stressful.

From our experience of two trips this year, too many are loud and do not believe in queues. Their modus operandi appears to be 'push in front of as many people as possible and talk or play media as loudly as possible on your phone in public' to win in life.

Took my Mum earlier this year and people literally pushed her around if she was in a queue or in their way for photos even if she was there first. She actually fell over as a result of someone pushing her. So we're thinking it'd be more pleasant to spend a couple weeks in Japan and the rest of the time in Europe. Just finished 16 nights in Japan and loved it!

We're happy to fly from HKG to another city in Asia for the return business trip to HKG. Then catch our flight home to Sydney from HKG. We'll be buying these tickets.

Thanks in advance!
 
HKG wouldn't really be "cheap" as it's a very busy hub to Europe. if you're looking for "cheap" you'd need to do a hop over to somewhere like Manila or Jakarta.

Japan would be equally as expensive. Also theres always the option of seeing if theres awards from HKG/Tokyo if you still have points left.

Thank you elanshin. Yes we still have points left but are happy to pay since it'll just be economy to get around in Asia. We fly business for longer distances as getting older and more uncomfortable.
