My issue was that according to Qualiflyer, it was not possible to ask for a reward seat on the MH aircraft - whether booking under LX or MH (but as I mentioned I didn't push this point as I wasn't after it anyway).

What I have done in place is to fly with LX from London to Singapore (160 000 in F) and then connected with MH from there to Melbourne (90 000 in F) - so a total of 250 000. I tried to get a reward on CX via HKG, but there was absolutely no availability into Australia in June or July (and it was pretty difficult out of London as well).

MH direct out of London would have cost me the same 280 000, but they don't offer flat beds.

AirOli - MH is quite a good airline, there has been some discussion on other threads saying that MH today is a bit like SQ 10 years ago. Service on MH is usually very good. Only problem is the F class seats, which have a 72 inch pitch, but are not flat.
