40K + RM350-RM450 - You need to purchase MH Smart Economy

This post has been edited by maiself: May 24 2015, 10:49 PM

Hi,

Thanks for the info

You meant i need to purchase ticket based on MH Smart instead of MH Basic?

Also, once purchased, how do i upgrade?

It is just directly called the Enrich CS to redeem?

Yes. Can also go to the ticketing centre in KL Sentral.

If your date is flexible, better call CS 1st to check upgrade seat availability before purchase your ticket.

If your date is fixed, Just purchase MH Smart.. On the travel date, go to KLIA ticketing counter(3H-4H earlier) and asked for an upgrade.

Do the same if from London to KL, Mr Halim or other MAS personnel at MAS LHR counter will help you on the upgrade.

The difference between economy and business if 34,000 miles on way. Isn't it better to just redeem business? Under what circumstances is it better to upgrade? Thanks

Click here and read my article titled Comprehensive Review of The Best Credit Cards for Redeeming Frequent Flyer Miles – Enrich Miles and KrisFlyer Miles and you will learn that redeeming for Economy Class ticket is not worth it.

You upgrade when someone else (family, friend, work) is paying for your ticket. If you're paying yourself then obviously it might make more sense to redeem a business class ticket up front.

Hi guys I am new to this and recently from genx blog I came across seems interesting

I want ask the miles can only get when buy from the carrier direct? Like alot if times I buy using expedia or other travel website cos is cheaper so can't get miles?

Bro, most of us here talking about earning Frequent Flyer Miles from our credit card usages.

For example, with Maybank AMEX Reserve and Visa Infinite where we earn 5X TP and need 4770 TP = 1000 Enrich Miles - we use our card for RM40K, we can upgrade to Business Class to London for FREE I wonder one needs to fly on many times with MAS to London on Business Class just to earn 40K Enrich Miles?

And a return Business Class ticket to London cost about RM15K, if one purchase 3 return tickets using AMEX Reserve, he would have earned himself a FREE upgrade one way to LHR.

When using Enrich miles. We can purchase tickets for others. But if krisflyer, can we do so? Anyone knows?

Ya I also read about that part from your blog. Currently I'm using maybank 2 gold card which I try accumulate points. Any non Amex free annual card to recommend when shop don't accept Amex? U recommend alot of prestigious card with high annual fee which I can't afford haha

Thanks for the great blog! Looking forward to your next post on other alternative frequent flyer comparison

MAS not going to fly to europe anymore

Bro, it may be true that my Top 10 list consist of many Premier Card but I do not necessary recommend Premier credit cards only, click here to my article Earn FREE Gold Bars with Your Credit Cards where in the conclusion I did mention what cards to coupled with Maybankard 2 AMEX.

And thanks for reading my articles.

Thanks! Great story of your life. I think I'll get the Hong leong as recommended in your post as 2nd non Amex Card.

I want ask about the miles thing. Currently I have about 20k+ kris flyer miles from my earlier business trip. Now due to gst policy dun think can get anymore cos need put company name or through company agency when going for business trip. Cant benefit from personal card.

Is it enrich more worth or kris flyer? As I see u recommend a lot on enrich but I see maybank points to convert kris is abit Cheaper. Also due to rcent mas crisis.

If enrich good then I'll spend all my kris flyer points la. If kris good then can continue accumulate hehe

you can always compare, MAS used to have 50% promo on Enrich Miles on yearly basis. Now they are doing it randomly. I understand SIA might have limited seat for redeem as well while MAS is very generous for Enrich member to redeem seats. But MAS is now very unstable and i think better to keep credit card points rather than Enrich Miles now.

I am due to fly with them tomorrow to Osaka, 27,500 Miles + RM68.9 tax on business class. (50% promo few week back, made me burn my AAX tix)

The current Enrich promo flight to Maldives quite ok lah. 14k miles for a return + RM460 tax.

Flew to Osaka for 27,500 EM, still get awarded 5,376EM for taking that flight

Excellent deal!

What? Do you earn EM again on your redemption? If true, it means "effective cost" of EM to redeem must deduct by the EM earned on redemption? Is this a standard practice also across other flyer programmes? Please explain bearbear kor.

Yea interested to know too. We can still earn enrich points eventhough we redeemed enrich points for that flight? 😮
