Where can I find this? Thanks.

You need 120,000 mile PP to fly Business Class for a round trip. I am doing ORD LHR BKK BOM BKK NRT ORD on such a ticket on 3 airlines (UA, Thai< ANA) ! Use lounges at all stops. There is a stay in India and Tokyo on this ticket. (Tokyo is a stopover).
If you want to spen miles, Intl. is the best value. You can go nonstop to China on United....etc.
If you are short on miles, you can buy the remainder, GF can get a UA card, transfer from hotel partners etc.
Come back with Qs. Good luck.
Am I able to double down and buy a ticket with miles and then use one of my regional or global awards to bump that ticket up a class? Essentially, can I get a free business class ticket by combining awards?
