For now I think going via Doha is best and I could book the First seats from BKK to DOH and hope a J seat comes up and I can cancel and swap to save the Avios.

What are you being quoted for the mixed class (F/J) redemption?

I recently booked MAN-DOH-BKK via QR which is the A35K Qsuite from MAN and then A388 in F to BKK and that was 75,000 avios, the same as a standard business redemption. Likewise on the return, I was able to book F on the Ex-Cathay 777 and then J on an A359 into EDI for 90,000 which is the same as a standard J reward booking for those dates.

I did notice reward flights outside of the UK and EI with an F leg were being quoted at 135,000 though. Likewise I also found redemptions to LHR with a leg in F were also now charged at 135,000 whilst EDI, MAN, and DUB were all 90,000.
