QUOTE(Shanglin @ Sep 19 2016, 11:23 AM) I have also call mas to enquire about going to northern Europe like oslo and helsinski under oneworld, they say no routing to there at all. I think if really want to go northern Europe I had to transit London cause the only route mas have? Oneworld airlines include the likes of Qatar and Finnair, both of which flies to northern Europe, Finnair from BKK or SIN. Google up on how to look for Oneworld award flights using the Avios website, pick the routes segment by segment eg. KUL-DOH then DOH-OSL and then call up MH Enrich to see if they can book your tickets for you. Having said this, I think redeeming Enrich on OneWorld airlines is not the best value unless you're booking business class tickets, or have millions of expiring Enrich points or both. Standard economy class tickets to scandinavian airports start at RM2k (during Qatar's last sale which ended Sept 18th) or around RM2.2k on Turkish. Typical fees are around RM700-800 for an award ticket so you'll spend 72k miles to save RM1,200. |

QUOTE(Morning_Star @ Oct 5 2016, 09:08 PM) Thanks for the URL, peigeng Maybank Premier TP (expire after 3 yr) 1000 Air Miles = 4770 [ for AMEX ] every RM1 spent =5 TP 4770/5=954 TP RM spent / 1 AirMile = 954/1000 = RM 0.954 [ in reality % of merchants that allows AMEX charged vs Visa Inf is 50% ] Alliance TBP (no expiry) 1000 Air Miles = 6000 every RM1 spent = 2 TBP 6000/2=3000 TBP RM spent / 1 AirMile = 3000/1000 = RM 3 To extend your model Maybank Premiere specifically Visa Infinite 1000 Air Miles = 4770 [ for VI ] every RM1 spent = 2 TP 4770/2=2385 TP RM spent / 1 AirMile = 2385/1000 = RM 2.385 So assuming that the 3-year expiry and Maybank's earning structure doesn't apply to you, Maybank's VI still earns more air miles per RM compared to Alliance TBP. |

QUOTE(peigeng @ Oct 6 2016, 02:19 PM) But maybank earning structure does not include utilities bill,insurance,petrol and education which earn you only 1x.alliance bank will earns you point on everything except petrol and government. You're repeating exactly what I stated very clearly in my response earlier in case you didn't read, "if Maybank's earning structure doesn't apply to you". It certainly doesn't to me for the majority of my purchases. |

Malaysia Airlines is having some ridiculously cheap business class fares ex-HKT
HKT to LHR (via KUL) in business is roughly THB 41k or about RM5k. Good for those looking to qualify for status!

QUOTE(limeuu @ Oct 12 2016, 08:21 AM) How do you all know these things?...do you make trial bookings trying the same destination from different origins? Some do. Others (like me) read flyertalk  The PEN/JHB to CDG/AMS mistake fare (RM1,200-1,400 return on QR Y) earlier in the year was flyertalk. The cheap return on QR J from CMB-BOS (RM4k) was amazing too. Unfortunately far more good fares from US to Asia than the other way. Or alternatively you can set google flight alerts. The multiple origin/destination feature is a godsend although I've not found mistake fares yet. KUL-JFK on SV J for RM7.5k, KUL-CAI on SV Y for RM1.2k. I check one a day or so, too lazy to set email alerts. |

QUOTE(apowerfulskill @ Nov 28 2018, 11:48 PM) Thanks for the insight! But unfortunately I really do need to use my miles soon as a large chunk is gonna expire. Needa look around I guess.  How many miles do you have? You'd get better suggestions if you at least indicated that. |
