I'm not sure why the inability to upgrade using Avios on MH means going via Hong Kong on BA or CX...

If you're willing to connect, you can try Malaysia's CDG-KUL for the A380 service. Fewer miles on redemptions and no UK APD.

When I went, it cost me about 1600 euros in a fare sale for business class - didn't check first class pricing.

I got an upgrade to First on the return leg of this trip. I was quite impressed with MH First Class - massive improvement on their business class, so indeed worth checking out.
