Thank you so much for the detailed informations.

Hopefully our senior here don't mind the share any insider news or informations relates to the points valuation if there is any to save our hard-earned points from inflation.

Why don't you convert first? The Enrich miles last 3 years so there is ample time to make use of them, right?

My thought on this is: will enrich miles being inflated as well?

fuel surcharge will be gone soon, no need to inflate miles.

anyone has this experience:
1) spent >RM1500 to aim condotti trolley bags
2) receive 18700 pts.
3) I went to redeem 18700 pts to RM50 voucher.
4) was told this 18700 is for trolley bags. alamak!

Hi Bro Gen-X

Here are the comparison I did for EM vs Krisflyer vs AsiaMiles (KUL - LHR Roundtrip business class)

Frequent Flyer	Miles Required
Enrich Miles	110,000
Krisflyer	160,000
Asia Miles	120,000
From	To
Kuala Lumpur	London Heathrow

Conclusion : EM is more worth for our buck.

You can't conclude like that, have to depending on plane you take also.

I have to agree with you. Personally, I would always take MAS whenever possible.

Halal food and the convenience of KLIA (I don't like to waste time for transits at airport.)

Nope, the membership card should be following our nationality. Like if I'm a Malaysian and stay in Malaysia, getting Enrich are the "best" option as most of the international flights are from MAS, unless you take others(or under 1 world).
I was stuck in between Qatar's or Enrich at that time and end up I choose Enrich as after my 1 year contract and if were to fly, I'll be flying with MAS and if were to use QPoints, it cost more.

Where do you get 88k Enrich miles to fly KUL-LHR return in business? I looked at the link and it specifically says 110k miles for Business Basic KUL-LHR return but that's before the 15% online discount so it's actually 93.5k. 93.5k is fantastic value if you're flying on the MH A380 but pretty sucky if you're stuck on the old 772 with angle flat business class.

SQ KF is always quite a bit more expensive when compared to MH but they have the same 15% discount plus their ability to book on Star Alliance is much more reasonable compared to Enrich and OneWorld. I don't mind splurging on SQ KF once in awhile, SQ suites/first class is awesome.

The biggest advantage of Asia Miles/Cathay is availability. I have gotten 5 business class seats on Cathay using miles personally, useful when I'm flying with family; and between slightly to significantly lower taxes depending on where you fly.

To me it's not so clear cut and depends a lot on where I want to fly and how many people are flying with me.

Sorry my bad, see wrongly. Edited to 110,000

Mind sharing some light on SQ tax on business class return to Europe?

Bro,

Mind share more on 15% online discount? Is it temporary promotion?

it is ongoing promotion..
as long as you redeem online, during final checkout, the require miles already discounted..

SQ business class on A380 and refurbished 777-300ER are 4 seats a row

Yes it is. And on the new B773W their biz class is comparable to MH A380 1st Class.

Impressive!! They fly to US destination and only required 9x k miles one way on business. Very good alternative to the already ceased KL-Tokyo-US route by MAS.

Direct to London also 9x k miles, if MAS no more 50% promo SQ sounds like a better choice. Maybe except the part where you need to get to Changi in the first place. But 4 seats a row business class, i am sold!

this is for those planning to take up a SQ Suite and the miles needed



Strangely enough, sg-frankfurt one way requires 91k miles but sg-frankfurt-new york one way requires 93k miles

May I know for example "Los Angeles to Singapore via Tokyo" - How long is the stopover normally at Tokyo? Can the stopover be extended to 1 or 2 night stay or are the flight schedule basically fixed? And is there a need to check out and recheck in at Tokyo? This is slight off topic but just this thought just came up.

The stopover is something like 90 mins to 2 hrs. For them to clear up the cabin and refuel. You just need to disembark the cabin to chill for 2 hrs at the terminal. No check out required.
