Biz 40000+ GBP 63 or GBP1947 = 4.7p per avios

Both ticket prices seem excessive considering a Tiger Airways flight can be had for GBP170 and its only a relatively short flight but check two dates in April/June same price.
CX have not loaded cheap fares for that route for that time it seems. If you look next month fares on CX are around 1/6th that price. You would have to be crazy to consider that economy fare, so I don't think its a valid comparison.
