4. MEL > SIN > IST > LHR (Europe) $565
5. LHR > BUD on BA Y (Repositioning) $89
6. BUD > IST > BOG (South America) $546
7. BOG > MAD on IB J (Repositioning) 50k Avios
8. MAD > IST > EWR (North America)

So I had some leftover avios, for the SA > IST > EUR leg, since I can't find a cheap way OUT of South America unless I fly to EUR through IST in Y for about $500ish. But I'd rather burn them.

Thank for idea, just booked the same J award.

Also those with too many laying points from SAS Million campaing and thinking how to return from SYD/MEL, one can get Business Award with 105k EuroBonus Points to KWI, DOH or CAI.
Ok positioning value to me.
