Considered it but getting to 4,200 vs. 3,500 that I expected to for the 2x GUFs was effectively the push - lots of unexpected flying late in the TP year - and I ran out of time.
Had I known earlier in the year it'd have been easy - one trip in QF (Emirates) business vs. economy on QR and had I booked the MH Christmas sale rather than paying nearly the same for BA premium economy the week after it ended (£1,100 to SE Asia in J) and I'd have been there or thereabouts.
Oh and if anyone remembers that amazing Christmas sale via Expedia - I was the one who found it and posted about it before anyone else!
