My picks this month
This month’s discounted flights for Business Class is pretty lacklustre with mostly regional destinations and Cairns. A return trip to Cairns costs 100,800 miles after the 30% discount which I find pretty pricey given how the flight time is just 6.5 hours.

Of the destinations on the list, I’ve personally tried Bali, Bangkok, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh. A flight time of 2.5 hours is adequate to enjoy Business Class, in my opinion, while 2 hours is pretty quick especially after factoring the time to take off and land. I would hence only recommend Bali, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh this month for Business Class redemption.
In Economy Class, cities like Taipei and Seoul are available. While you would generally want to reserve your miles for Business Class redemptions, Economy Class redemptions can make sense with a 30% discount. This is particularly if you have significant number of miles on hand, and/or can earn miles quickly.
Also available this month are medium and long-haul flights to destinations like Shanghai, Amsterdam, and New York in Premium Economy class. Like Economy Class, I think these are worth considering only because they are discounted, and make sure you look up the ticket price because they can be surprisingly cheaper than one might expect. In that scenario, I think it’s better to just pay with cash (i.e. using a credit card) than to use your miles.
