Is there a way to minimise the number of miles? Searching the forum reveals that you can book MEL-GUM and it'll be via SIN and you can just ditch the SIN-GUM leg? If I do this will they allow me to board the flight back from SIN-MEL considering I won't have flown the GUM-SIN leg?
the rest of your ticket will be cancelled once you no show for the SIN-GUM leg.
of you want to 'maximize the value' of the award, then a side trip to say Hong Kong, one of the Thai islands, or to Japan might be an option. it will still cost the 90,000 but you're getting the side trip for free essentially.
