Briefly explain the factors in your decision.
I'd use BA miles for J tickets on CX for travel from JFK to BKK.

Why the carrier: I find the CX J product to be one of my favorite J products. (I get F lounge access on this trip due to my Emerald card!)
Why the points: BA points are a very good value to Asia on CX from the US...for the moment.
Why the destination: I've wanted to go to BKK for some time.
