Can't rmb the date, it was few months ago.
Easiest route - Mumbai
Fly while last, new suite will remove from Mumbai somewhere mid of next year.

Ok la, not bad, can try old Suite and new A380 business.
Once in a lifetime (at least).

Well, that's your choice, no right or wrong.
Personally I think you shall try flying First at least once in a lifetime, if u can afford.

I guess what he is trying to say is... NO

How to check booking class for Emirates?
Sore my eyes checking every corner but can't find the booking class...
Nevertheless, credited to my Emirates acc, slowly build up my miles.

To be fair, 50k is still a good value for return Japan.

Good.
Too bad the date I wanted only have waitlist...
Need to travel on that date, no choice.

Not really.
I will say both pros and cons.
Those frequent user (who redeem always) usually have no problem with expiry miles.
However, those travel infrequently, for my case - my mum, will travel on CX once or twice a year, occasionally on my or my dad miles redemption.
With 3 yrs validity, it is sufficient to redeem short distance flight for myself (yes, me not her )
She has no CC (supp) to earn miles, solely by flying.
18 mths is a bit short, let's say 1 year without travel / fly on my redemption ticket / fly with other SA airlines, her miles will be nearly expired.
Of course for the bright side, her miles will never expired if she keep flying CX / earning AM and sufficient to redeem long haul ticket for herself.

Yup, for those who can transfer from CC, with proper monitoring, it is a gain.
As mentioned above, those without CC (supp card holder), will be having difficulties.
What is the minimum amount for buying miles? Hundreds?
I don't think it is worth it.
Nevertheless, the easiest way found should be from rebatemango.

All depends on travel destination and timing...
When more people into miles game (worldwide), there will be less seat availability

Yup, I have another new Suite waitlist for January.
2 pax.
Occupancy so far = 2/6
Let's see what's the outcome.

No intention to fly for this one, CNY coming soon, just play with new route and learn how's the waitlist works.
Nevertheless, made a few waitlist and hopefully can clear for the date I wanted.

Never try Cathay waitlist before.
So happened got the dates I wanted previously.

No idea, last year my waitlist wasn't clear.
Next one I shall know in a week or two.
One more in Feb and then April.
Not many waitlist for 2x new Suite.

Are you sure Maybank included?

Refer T&C, click on Other Partner CC
In the list as I shared above, I can't find Maybank.
Maybe someone can clarify.

No Prestige, only M2P.
Amex is another alternative, but dont have too

Thanks.
I view from phone and somehow it was not in the list.
Good that it is included.

Either pre-selected HK or Tw site.
Can't find where to change location from phone.
Nevertheless, digidigi has confirmed that MBB is possible.
Thanks.

Of course, but while flying under company expenses, not every company can allow you doing so.
When no choice, buy economy under company expenses and upgrade with own miles, without company aware of it.

Your description is quite accurate.
I will be doing so very soon, but in reverse.
Still not decided where to overnight.
There is no nice sleeping sofa in First Class lounge.

Tried once sleeping in PPL, sofa + ottoman, not bad.
Flight arrived 3 or 4am, ok for 2 hours sleep.
Quite hesitate for whole night.
Maybe end up in aerotel.

No 2nd option, which is quite sad actually.
At least Ambank and HSBC can rivaled MBB previously, but it is now left unchallenged.
Just maximize your spending with M2P.
Find and spend as much as possible with Amex instead of Visa.
Full force spend on MUVI and pray hard they win the match (and curse like hell when they lost )

Unlike our neighbour Sg, they now have plenty options offering 4mpd (ok, 4 miles per RM3, which is much better than our Amex!).
Look forward for SC or UOB to stand up and challenge M2P.

I do agree, but generally it is much easy to earn miles in Sg than Msia.
Luckily we still have one of the best card (not so best anymore) in the world
Basically not many people will concern about paying fee while redeeming miles (for miles chaser).
However, it is just the matter of time we need to start paying AF for better miles card.
