But there's a catch – they appear to have priced Melbourne at the same Avios rate as Bangkok, despite an additional 9 hours of flying. We break down the numbers showing business class for potentially 62,500 Avios one-way, compared to British Airways' typical 170,000+ Avios to Australia. Learn how to book this potential pricing error through Finnair Plus or British Airways Executive Club before it gets corrected. We cover availability guarantees, aircraft details, connection options from London, and whether you should book now or wait.\nSubscribe to Smart With Points 👉🏼 https://smartwithpoints.com/.\nCheck out our sponsor Award Travel Finder to help with your award flight searches.\nThanks to Hotel Redemptions and Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!\nSupport us -\nAmerican Express\nAmerican Express Business\nCapital on Tap","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/kpqLQjayaRcr9wlWPJ0MuP24HIF5dQ0y5ufcPpmp_cM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hMjE4/ODYzMTIxY2EzZjJi/MGI2MTg4OGU0YzNj/MWY4OS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
