Advice: Best use of Amex companion ticket and 100k Avios?

Hello all,

This is my first post, forgive me if it is the wrong forum but this seemed the best fit!

I have been using the BA Amex card and hit the £10k spend to get the complimentary ticket. I also have 100,000 avios on my account and would like to go away with my wife. We are thinking about heading over to the far-east, maybe Beijing in business class for two weeks.

Do you think this is a good use of 100k points and the comp ticket?

I am based in London and would depart from here, but happy to do something else if its better for me - Ive heard stories about getting more bang for your buck if you depart elsewhere?

Are then any tips or any thing I need to be aware of before booking this? I want to get the most out of this booking and trip, so any little tricks that people know would be great. If not, I guess its straight forward, I book the business class fights for me and my wife and enjoy the trip?

Many thanks,

Zurich Flyer
