QUOTE(tishaban @ Nov 10 2016, 09:51 AM) Of course you won't let me forget that! I need to step up my research on ways towards EY Apartments, EK and LH F redemptions. Treapoints - KF - Velocity way is there, so is purchasing miles etc. Tempted, but not for now. Maybe I'll do it after seeing your report! |

QUOTE(db07mufan @ Nov 10 2016, 10:11 AM) QR J! Looking forward to my trip in January. I've only got Al Mourjan though not Al Safwa Can easily get access to Al Safwa by including a regional "First Class" ticket in your itinerary.CX BKK Lounge is pretty neat, yummy pad thai. But gets a tad too crowded Cool, will be sure to try the pad thai. We're arriving early in the morning around 7AM so hopefully it won't be too crowded then. BKK was a stopover that turned into a layover so I've got around 4 hours to kill at BKK. This post has been edited by dctravels: Nov 10 2016, 10:31 AM |

QUOTE(db07mufan @ Nov 10 2016, 10:40 AM) Yeah, dropping by in CAI next June. Just to try Al Safwa, i hope the country doesn't collapses by then. Meanwhile Al Mourjan will do. Took MH785 a few weeks back, the lounge gets very very crowded after 9am, it's hard to even get a seat at the lounge area. Plenty of seats at the noodle bar. Breakfast menu is a bit meh, pad thai comes after 11am IIRC. Then again it's the best OW lounge in BKK, Sakura is a bit dated. Yet to tick Egypt off the list. Should have done it some time ago. How long will you be there for?Re CX Lounge: thanks for the heads-up buddy, will make sure I get to the lounge earlier then. |

QUOTE(db07mufan @ Nov 10 2016, 01:02 PM) Just 3 nights in CAI. Am just worried about the political status there again. Doesn't look good recently I see. Same problem here. Pollution in New Delhi has skyrocketed. It's the most polluted city on earth right now. We backed out of an Egypt to Israel "pilgrimage" tour (backdoor way for Malaysian atheists like myself to visit Jerusalem) many years back. Should have done it in hindsight when tourism was still vibrant there. This post has been edited by dctravels: Nov 10 2016, 01:18 PM |

QUOTE(giggsyy @ Nov 29 2016, 10:38 PM) I'm actually in the situation as you...haha...thinking of flying to the states but dunno which among the 3 is the best to park my points... how much easier is asiamiles to get the tickets instead of krisflyer? Redeeming SQ to US is quite tough. I would think you will stand a better chance with CX. For Enrich, I have no experience redeeming Emirates flights so can't comment.On a separate note, I've started posting my reviews on my recent trip to India/Qatar on my blog. Will do a SQ Suites vs QR F comparison towards the end. Those interested can start reading here: |

QUOTE(digidigi @ Dec 31 2016, 03:23 PM) hi guys, if I have around 1m treat points from 2 card premier and another 200k KF miles, which airline and FFP I should look for if I want to redeem 2 round trip first class to New York, up to one year booking ahead is fine for me, of course earlier is better, thanks for help. QUOTE(tishaban @ Jan 1 2017, 07:25 AM) Seeing you've got 200k KF already it seems SQ is the only choice for you but the problem as tishaban has pointed out, SIN-JFK is VERY HARD to get. You will be lucky to get ONE Suites Saver, let alone TWO. Booking 355 days in advance doesn't help much either for this route in my experience. You can't even waitlist for Saver on most dates! SQ's YQ fees are very high as well. Let us know how you go.Happy New Year everybody! |

QUOTE(db07mufan @ Jan 1 2017, 11:28 AM) I know, but there is no blanket 'ONEWORLD REDEMPTION' term per se. Asiamiles has Oneworld Multicarrier Award ticket (is this what he meant?) that requires you calling CS to book your ticket. That requires 2 carriers at least one being CX. I think he's referring to Enrich "oneworld redemption":BAEC is a oneworld partner and partner redemptions using Avios can be done online. If he could be more specific, we can help him out better. http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/my/en/enri...r-airlines.html |

QUOTE(aspartame @ Jan 1 2017, 12:10 PM) Thanks guys. Yes, I am referring to OneWorld through Enrich. Just wondering comparing this with redemption via Asia Miles for CX first class to US, which one is better value for money? Ie requires less miles Asia Miles require 220k miles for CX F return to US. Enrich requires 264k miles. Actually you can just get the figures from the charts. |

QUOTE(yewlaiselangau @ Jan 2 2017, 09:14 AM) Thank you for advise, sifu. Since using direct redemption require more miles eg. 110000 for business class, so i am thinking to redeem through Multi-carrier redemption on oneworld member airlines since only require 70,000 if i above said is workable. How about if I redeem kuching to Kuala lumpur using Mas and kuala lumpur to tokyo using Japan airlines, is it workable for multi-carrier redemption?? Really need the advise. Thank you. Greetings from a fellow Kuchingnite!Are you planning to use Asia Miles or Enrich? I only have experience with Asia Miles and from the above, you should be able to to do multi-carrier redemption, provided there's award seats available for your dates. |
