no separate thread for AsiaMiles for I'm sharing my experience here, since all AM points are from M2Premier.
Took me 1hr 30mins to complete the whole booking process, mainly due to they can't book me MH from KUL-PEN leg and I had to change the flight route on the spot.
Original Plan:
PEN-oHKG-PVG//PEK-oKUL-oLHR-oLIS-MAD//BCN-xDOH-xKUL-PEN
on KA/CX/MH/MH/BA/IB/QR/QR/MH
4 stop over, 2 transit, 2 open jaws
Having to pay KUL-PEN return once to complete, home city from PEN
All flights was shown available except the last leg from KUL-PEN, CS helped me to scan through all dates and unable to book for it (only option is KUL-HKG-PEN, which over the 20k miles gap), forced me to adjust my plan to the following:
KUL-oHKG-PVG//PEK-oKUL-oLHR-oLIS-MAD//BCN-xDOH-KUL
China trip: Dec 2015
Spain: Feb 2016
4 stopover, 2 open jaws, 1 transit
* Notice that I can come back KL in between the journey, never though I can do so.
But I had to purchase PEN-KUL return twice
Flight route:
http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=kul-hkg-pvg%0...ul&MS=wls&DU=miTotal miles: 19670
AsiaMiles required for 2 pax flying all biz class: 240,000
Total tax & surcharges for 2 pax: HKD12,238.00
Assuming MYR/HKD at 1.78, tax & fuel surchages is approx. at MYR6,875, compare to sum up taxes & YQ I obtained from individual FFP, AM(KA, CX, QR), MH, BA(BA, IB) only at MYR4,671. Different of ~MYR2,204
Yet to receive fee detail which CS said will send me separately, but I believe it's high for MH & QR leg.
May I know how long are the stopovers? Is there any time limit? This type of trip planning is very complicated. Is there a good site I can learn more?
