MH- OW Emerald from 1 ticket: LHR-SYD RT $5186
Price isn't cheap, but it's not bad considering city paring, getting OW Emerald from no status, and 100k+ redeemable miles (plus lie flat on all segments, and A350 on London segments)
100k is due to Malaysia's triple mile bonus if you book by Oct 15, 2018 and complete before March 31, 2019.
Edit: Seems like cheaper flights can be found SYD-LHR in Feb, around $4100.
Sample flight:
Edit: Even better fare if you are able to position to Tokyo:

@Dave510 where did you find the fare ex SYD? Can't seem to replicate $4100
If anyone is after the status, 4 RT flights KUL-ICN will also net you platinum at a cost of $3169 roughly.

Looks like MH is in desperate need of cash.
there's also this fare for anyone looking to depart from India. MH: DEL-Australia r/t in J from ~US$1,350

Can also try from Perth and save a few hundred, but it won't get you all of the way. Possibly can find options from Perth that route through Sydney on QF and then from Sydney up on MH. But the question remains: is it worth a not-so-great experience to earn miles and status on a lackluster program?
