Malaysia Airlines seems to be having a promo on Business Class flights. Booked tickets from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok return last night on Business Class for $256 over Christmas/New Years holidays. I get this deal is not for everyone, and I did a quick search and I don't think the promo extends to Australian destinations. So it would be good for the people who are there anyway. I haven't checked if the promo extends to other countries, but definitely heaps of availability on the KL-BKK route.
Good Luck.
@mods, I am not sure if the title is suitable, please help change it.
Awesome, thanks for the update. By the way it is not just over december. I checked dates in January (Australia day period), comes up as $267. This trip is 80 status credits. Which will definitely help retaining Gold QFF.
Also KL>Singapore is $135 business class in december one way, economy is actually more expensive (17th of December).
KL>Colombo return business is ~$421 business on skyscanner. (160 status credits!)
