I am going to be in Copenhagen for a family event from Oct. 27-29th and was thinking of launching the cheapest possible trip to get them for a few days from there. Best I've seen is Qatar; CPH > DOH > PEN or KUL for about USD 2,300. All business, no idea (and not that fussed) if it's QSuites or not. Anyone think this is a good deal or would you look at other options that I'm missing? Many thanks!

Due to a new job, for the first time in many years, I find myself in danger of losing my Gold status - 525 points to find before mid-November (ex London). I've always travelled with work in the past, so haven't yet had to master the intricacies of TP runs (though embracing the challenge)...
Any suggestions gratefully received

Also chances are your year ends on November 8th, not 15th. So with a 2 week extension you need your flights by Nov 22nd.

For £300ish you could fly return from CPH to DXH in Economy and then do a DXB-CMB-CGK return for £650ish - netting 560TPs. Considerably less spendy than $2300.
