I would suggest one of the west coast CX departures connecting via HKG (though, seeing as your home airport is on the east, it might not be the most convenient for you).
EDIT: CX has flights originating EWR/JFK, so JFK/EWR - HKG - BKK.

If you don't already have one, create a BA Executive Club account, and use their 'Book with Avios' functionality. It'll be on the left sidebar.

Anyone able to book a premium cabin on Qantas?
Hi,
I've searched high and low for domestic business awards on Qantas using Iberia avios. I can never find anything, even if BA.com shows 9 seats availability. I know internationally Qantas releases few premium seats, particular to partners, but usually domestically they are OK. Should I give up or has anyone had success?
Thanks,
PC

My family of four booked 4X LGA>ORD @17K and 2X LGA>DCA @11K.
I have not been able to swap in my AA# for my Iberia # on these bookings even though I have tried via "manage my booking" on Finnair and Royal Jordanian. If anyone has any tips on this or has had recent success with the methods let me know. Thanks

Thanks CWS. I am specifically looking at SYD-HTI, the latter I can't seem to select as a destination on BA.com so I can't check BA first for this destination. However, when checking other routes BA is certainly showing business availability on Qantas flights (e.g. SYD-MEL) yet Iberia's website will only show economy on the same flights.

I also tried using other airline websites to add it, but some airlines show both frequent flyer program numbers including the Iberia website itself. However, using the AA record locator for the flight it shows the frequent flyer program is the Iberia one.

I wound up finally starting to get a trickle of bonus Avios in for our family of 5 after providing the necessary documentation via the email IB provided. We only booked what we were going to fly in August anyway but in the end that should be enough for 36,000 per person. We are SEA based and often fly SEA or PDX to LAX and I was happy to see that we can each get 2 roundtrips on AA for those routes out of our bonuses. Not a huge value, but nice for those quick weekend trips we take down there where it's a minimum of $250 per person per ticket. We more or less get $2500 of value for tickets we were going to buy anyway for our trip through Spain next month, not a bad ROI for the hassle of the back and forth with them.

So in summary I think Iberia has a subset of BA's business award availability on Qantas flights. As such searching for availability on BA is a good start but not a guarantee. Iberia website is just plain useless.
