Etihad Airways is offering cheap business class fares from Jakarta to Rome, going for around $2036 return, with availability wide open from September 2018 to May 2019.
If you have the flexibility to make your own way to Jakarta (or get a travel agent to arrange connecting flights from/to Australia), this is a great opportunity to arrive in Europe in style.
While the flights are operated by Etihad’s older A330 and 777 aircraft, business class is still a very comfortable experience. All seats are lie-flat with direct aisle access.

By my calculations, you’ll earn 15,600 Velocity Points (plus a status bonus, if you’re eligible) and a whopping 400 status credits for this return trip.
The easiest way to search for eligible dates is via Google Flights – use the calendar to find the days with the cheapest fares then simply click through to Etihad to book. A travel agent may also be able to assist.
