Any date where there is Guest First and Guest Business availability would be fine as it would give me an accurate idea of cost.
MEL-AUH First (One-Way)
Minimum miles 93,227 :-: Max Cash $690.63AUD
---
Max Miles 124,763 :-: Min Cash $292.02AUD (just taxes, fees, and charges)
---
Difference in Miles 31,536
Difference in Cash $398.61AUD

Notional value of points 1.26 cents (to 2 d.p) per point
At that rate, I'd pay max cash

AUH-ATH Business (One Way) Great availability FYI
Minimum Miles 29,287 :-: Max Cash 772AED ($292.16AUD)
---
Max Miles 39,020 :-: Min Cash 450AED ($170.30AUD) (just taxes, fees, and charges)
---
Difference in miles 9,733
Difference in cash $121.86AUD

Notional value of points 1.25 cents (to 2 d.p) per point
At that rate, I'd pay max cash

Hope that answers all the questions you might have here.

[AED to AUD currency conversion is at mid-market rates, your credit card company may charge more than mid-market rate when doing currency conversion]
