I guess because I haven't really done something like this trip before, I'm nervous. I've transferred miles for upgrades, hotels, etc., but not for an entire ticket esp not to Asia. Thanks!
You can find availability before transferring the miles. Sometimes the web shows phantom availability, so i would call to confirm that the award is available before transferring in the points.
As for what is a good deal, that is hard to answer. But I doubt you will find premium economy all the way from the USA to SE Asia for less than that.
