Try and use one or two of the companion vouchers on BA MAN – LON – BKK (or the reverse, can be used one way inbound).
For the rest of the party I’d look at Cathay, Qatar and/or Finnair from Manchester, if you’re mixing up the airlines check out a multi-carrier award. This may (or may not) be cheaper than just booking the flights individually through BA.
An identical itinerary, even one using some BA flights, may price up differently on Qatar, Finnair or BA’s systems. Avios can be moved from account to account to exploit this.
Starting in Helsinki, Dublin, Madrid – or anywhere else served by OneWorld that isn’t subject to UK APD – will save a slug of taxes at the potential cost of inconvenience and risk of misconnection.
