I am trying to determine if I should just book economy now or wait to see if I can find Biz seats closer to the date. Perhaps I can use the remaining points to upgrade if there is space?
Have you flown RT Biz awards recently for 100k? I know I sure haven’t.

Too often I see people listening to bloggers or “travel gurus” about how easy it is to use miles for their whole family. I haven’t found it easy for quite some time.

Since Covid started, most biz awards I have been found close in. Ten days or less in advance. If you absolutely need to be in Thailand, book a economy award, or buy the same or a premium economy ticket.
