This Flyertalk thread gave a nice heads up that Turkish Airlines is making first class awards available on their 77W aircraft leased from Jet Airways. Availability appears pretty good, even for two passengers, and that means seats between Istanbul and Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bangkok.
Definitely worth considering for those Star Alliance awards, this airliners.net thread has plenty of photos, and Turkish first class looks very nice…
