Royal Jordanian have cheapish flights in Business to KUL and HKG for 560TP. Its a good business class and they use 787s all the way I think. They only fly on certain days though

Last year I did DUB-PHL-SEA-JFK-DUB in an AA sale for less than £1,000. Cheapest I could see last time I looked was much more than that but a lot less than a direct flight from LHR for twice the TP and much more Avios

Good luck with the TP runs. I've found my intake greatly increase over the last 1.5 years, and have often found that flying with QR and CX* when goImg east is often beneficial (despite the lower Avios accrual) in J with rather attractive prices. I'd try RJ, but I've heard some fairly bad stories with them regarding providing the points owed.

*Not a dig at BA, who I still enjoy flying with. Just seems more recently to have made better financial sense and I'm more inclined than most to give up the extra time for connections in DOH or HKG if I lose out on weekends.

There is often a Do in London around Christmas time, or rather just before, though I don't think I've seen a date for this year yet. I change my signature (eventually) to indicate the next Do.
