It just seems there is no availability in Club to BKK EVER, no availability to SIN in club, very very little to Hong Kong. So I guess I am stuck.

If I call the helpline, can you book earlier than on the website?
you may be lucky at 355 days out but doubtful. BKK, SIN and SYD are the WORST routes to get availability on in club and first - esp with fixed dates. You may find closer to the time like a couple of weeks before that something opens up.

Personally i'd look at other options. Pay wt+ and hope somethign opens up for upgrade or buy a biz class ticket with thai or finnair. (obviously means you cant use the 241)

PS> Helpline can see the same buckets as we can so prob not much use. And at 355 days before, reward avail opens up at midnight so by time call centre opens, seats could be gone.

Do a search for avios reward avail to syd, sin and bkk on here - loads more information available.
