With the PROMO offers you can actually go J with 50000 miles return. You need to purchase 2000 miles. In the spring flew KL from NYC -> NCE for 22500 miles in J!!! Brilliant (and was only around 100 euros in taxes!!)
See you are BA gold - use BA o/w KL on return??
Or even better if you fly to BKK or SIN - PROMO offers at 40000 miles in J o/w...^
