I have been thinking about traveling business class to Asia for 3 weeks and visiting 3 cities. Any other vacations you would suggest? Completely open to suggestions and am very flexible with time. Only requirements are that it's international (flying out of Toronto) and it's business class.

Thank you.

First, need context as to the Marriott/SPG points. It is 3:1 Marriott:SPG. So convert them to one "currency" and tell us the total. Chances are you can redeem for at least one or two Marriott travel packages.

Second, you should be able to book 4 award flights in business for less than 300k miles in business class. Though, depending on if you want to burn all your miles/points or not, you could consider flying first for the long haul flights to/from Toronto.
