I've seen mixed reviews, that's why I was a bit hesitate.  bruce.gif

my offer letter comes too late. Maybe i should just burn my miles on Milan-KUL for next Feb. better availabilities (CX & QR)
*
Try KUL-DOH-MXP on QR? I like QR services very much, availability is good too

My last flew with Iberia (feb '16) LIS-MAD is with nice business class seat, no complaint on that, the seats i choose, they called it honeymoon seat biggrin.gif where there is just a separator between us in the middle 2, the row behind us had the compartment between seats.

I just checked and apparently you only need 45,000 EM and 78,000 EM for Business Class and First Class respectively.

Reality is, how often someone intend to visit UK by next month and still haven't booked his or her flight ticket by now?

exactly, it is not the first time MH giving these short notice promotion.

I am planning the next trip via AMOWMC again. Just wondering do they allow to use stopover as transit? Any sifu can advise?

rough plan which will work, PEN-xHKG-CGO//XIY-oHKG-PEN//KUL-xDOH-oGRU-oEZE-oJFK-HKG-PEN (CX/KA, QR & AA, hate AA as only can redeem economy seat)

but doesn't feel like stop at GRU (like to make it as transit)

In fact DOH-GRU-EZE is direct flight under same flight code QR773, which consist 2 segment, it counts the route as 1 or with transit when come to AMOWMC?

Not a sifu but I think QR773 will count as transit. It's five stopovers, two transits and two open jaws IIRC.

How many miles would you like to cover
*
up to 35k miles.

Anyway can forget about QR773, Qatar is not releasing any seat to Americas AFAIK.

is there any credit card that have good redemption rates for Asia Miles?
Currently am using MBB 2cPremier. But i do have quite a substantial amount of transaction every month on utilities & gov dept transaction. For these transaction, MBB only giving 1 or 0 points per RM spend.

Currently charging utilities and gov spending (anything less than 2x points on MBB) to HLB Mach Sig. However, it only transfer to EM which i plan to stop already considering the devaluation of miles every other week...
*
interested to know too.

for the mean time, i am spending on Amex Krisflyer by Maybank.

I am ticketing AsiaMiles One-World multi carrier award ticket, damn the Manila CS dun let my route go thru after spending an hour on the phone...

PEN-oHKG-CGO//XIY-oHKG-oKUL-xDOH-AMS//FRA-xHKG-PEN

1st oHKG > 24hrs
2nd oHKG > 8hrs, < 24hrs. China & Hong Kong consider as 1 country as I check from asiamiles.com, so >8hrs should consider as stopover.

They claimed both oHKG are transit, how true is it?

I am calling Hong Kong CS now... grrrr....

This may be off topic but found no where to ask.

Anyone using Maybank SIA Krisflyer Amex card?

I am paying my utilities bill with it, it suppose to credit the KF miles after the statement date but it's been 2 week and nothing appear in my KF account. Anyone got their miles this month?

call them

I did, I still have more than 10k miles pending and the CS claimed they are having issue with krisflyer.

I have the card since may or june and so far have only receive one transfer. quite lousy if u ask me.
*
I tot I break the condition to earn miles, been reading up and down and don't see any exclusion... If the problem is on their end then I am OK to wait. The last time I call the AMEX CS, been putting me on hold for 15mins and I hang up, not sure If I can call to premier line, ask some silly question then get them to help me on this case? whistling.gif

i have only 1 KF account and its embossed on the Amex card, previously did a small transaction and received the 3,000 welcome bonus, together with 3 KF miles for the transaction, so suppose all already in place.

Now I did large transaction then it never show up.

The Bridge is great except that it's always so crowded, including my last visit in June 2016. The newly reopened Pier should be much better in this regard considering the size.

In term of crowded, The Wing the worst, took 20mins for my wantan mee. In term of size, the Arrival lounge is the most pathetic haha, but good for a quick bite n grab few bottle of mineral water, water in HK is so expensive...
