Hi there,
I was wondering if someone who is an expert on maximising QFFpoints usage could assist me.
We (two adults) are heading back over to Phuket in January 2017 and as I have over 300,000 QFF points am hoping to get some good advice/ value on using some of these points.
If we travel at night we would prefer to go business class as at least we can get a sleep in, but as we recently returned from Phuket to Melbourne business class on the Dreamliner it was not a full lay back bed type of seat, which did the job but as some of you would say is the " poor mans business class"
Is there anyway that we could fly direct with an airline which offers such luxury of a full lay back seat but still utilising some of my points?
I would appreciate your input. I guess that I don't want to waste my points but get the best value out of them like the rest of us.
Thanks for reading this post

You could look at using QF MEL-SIN on the refurbished A330 (they'll definitely all be done by then) but that leaves you with Jetstar Asia from SIN-HKT which doesn't have business class at all.
No-one else flies direct MEL-HKT so if you don't want to stopover the JQ is your only option.
Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick - the other alternative is to consider is MEL-SYD-BKK-HKT.
You would get the full QF J Class lie-flat experience on SYD-BKK (A330) and then be able to connect in BKK to Phuket on Bangkok Airways (Economy), with whom QF cooperates and codeshares.
