I've redeemed 2M miles so far - all of them were on longhaul business/first awards (not upgrades) and mainly OW multicarrier awards. Six or seven RTW trips including four to South America. Currently planning for Chinese New Year 2014.
It just takes lots of advance planning, flexibility with schedules and perseverance. Good luck.

Frankly speaking - if he wants good availability to redeem for flights (aka: get the seats he wants when he wants them), don't bother with Asia Miles. Send me a private message and I can hook him up with a private airline service which caters specifically for high volume points clients. It's like private banking for using miles on business and first class flights.
