I have flown:
Duba to Europe for 42.5k miles - 6 hours lie-flat in Air France business class.
Malaysia to Europe for 80k miles - 12 hours lie-flat in KLM business class
Brazil to Europe for 105k miles - 12 hours lie-flat in Air France business class.
I just did 42,500 miles for FC TLV>CDG>LHR. Well worth it.
