Award - What Fare Bucket for F?
I'm looking at a roundtrip award in F BKK-LHR for October. There's no direct OneWorld service from Bangkok to London, so I'm looking at connecting through SIN on QF flights both ways. (CX between BKK and SIN.) EF shows F7 A7 P0 for all possible QF flights that might work for me. What fare bucket do F cabin awards come from on QF?

They come from P class
There are non stop services to London from Bangkok on BA, but with Business class as highest cabin. If really wanting to go 1st class and don't mind scenic tours - not quite as much backtracking there is 1st class on CX from HKG-LHR , though I would save the 1000 mile detour and just go business claas - or for a decent business class with no backtracking , there is availabilty on QR on several days via Doha

You are correct, my error. I was hoping to avoid CX. I fly CX F fairly regularly; and it's not what it used to be. I recently had the opportunity to fly QF F on a paid ticket SIN-SYD and loved it. I'd love to try it on the longer flights between SIN and LHR; but I guess that that's not to be. I'll fly QR J long before I fly BA F again.

I wouldn't worry about missing out on QF F. It seems you were lucky with your SIN-SYD flight as this can be the exception rather than the norm (check out SFO777's trip report of QF F in the trip report section and you'll see it can be very hit and miss... an 'excellent experience' is far from guaranteed)
