Hi all - seeking suggestions to get from Boston to Bangkok in December. I have about 400k Amex points, 300k Marriott points and 300k Delta miles. Prefer business class. All suggestions will be appreciated. TIA!

Qsuites. I just booked from BOS to MLE and SIN to BOS for next February a year out. Plenty of availability if you look a year out. I transferred to British airways avios, used avios boost, and then transferred from British airways with the boosted avios to Qatar. Out of pocket cash spend per person was around $2300 used less than 80k miles to book two seats round trip.

Thanks! I’ll check that out for my dates.

Position to NYC, use Aeroplan & fly to SIN on points. Pay cash for the fare to BKK 1.5 hours north.

Plenty of 86.5K each way Aeroplan routes with the ability to make it 50k points + ~$250 usd taxes and fees

Be careful with the Aeroplan mixed cabin itineraries! Nothing wrong with them but make sure you’re aware you might not be in business class every leg

Now you know why they’re called sky pesos.

Those dates and location, gonna be hard to do round trip in business with those points unless you’re really ready to put in the diligence and have the risk appetite
