I say listen to your wife... MH flies their 20 years old never updated angled lie flat product on a 772 to AMS. Comparing to SQ, even their older J seat blows anything MH has out of the water unfortunately.
BTW just to share, my latest redemption:
KUL-HKG-PVG (CX)
PVG-NRT (JL)
NRT-BKK (JL)
BKK-KUL (RJ)
Ticket worth: RM13,895
http://goo.gl/flights/PB3SAsiamiles: 80,000 miles + RM1,176.49 in taxes
80*4770 = 381,600 (TP needed)
38,1600/5 = RM76,320
RM76,320-RM1,176 = RM75,143
RM13,895/RM75,143 = 0.185
18.5% return, not bad ah?
Didn't check Enrich because it would have cost 105,000 miles to redeem the same ticket.
Wow, very good deal indeed...
By the way you have done the redemption through 'Flight Awards – Redeem through Airline Award Request Form', right? I notice that 'Flight Awards - Redeem Online' doesn't work for Multi-city redemption right? Also, may I know how's the Asia Miles respond time? How soon you receive your confirmation?
