The yq+ tax on bkk route was about 200€ and no tax for second person so not too bad... But still 150k points...
What about availability? Must there be two seats available in some special class for this to work, or can you search for a date where there is 1 seat avilable and then call AY?

But yes - you need to have those 150k points. Nearly 2 years hoard for someone who just makes Gold every year.
Actually, 150k points + 200€ + 4 SH vouchers, right?

Alternate use:
Buy 2 el-cheapo tickets in Y, total 800€, use 4 SH vouchers and 165k points (3x 55k) and you have a 2-for-1 in business longhaul.
