Value is something only you can answer.

1. do I value cash or miles more? What if you can get an award for less miles, but more fees/YQ?
2. would you spend time (on the phone, online etc) to save some miles vs. spend miles/cash to save time?

Go to the individual websites to get a feel for 1 and 2. Only you can decide because value for money vs. time spent vs. miles is a personal judgement.

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.

My advise is just use your enrich miles to redeem MAS air ticket. If you want to use to redeem CX, you may waste extra 1-2 days for transit.

Examples

MH
KUL to NRT, midnight flight, reach NRT around 730am

CX
KUL to NRT/HND, daytime flight, 9am depart, around 9pm reach Tokyo. This is another midnight flight to Tokyo by CX, but u still need to take code shared CX1724 from KUL to HKG.

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.

Hi sifu, I am going to use enrich miles since i had convert some amount of my cc point to enrich during last enrich 10% convert promo.. still wait and see enrich will announce the 30% or 50% off redemption to Japan like last time before.. if not, i will try go for multi-carrier redemption.. thank you very much for clearing up my doubts.

I m not the sifu, still a newbie for FFP. For your info, multi carrier redemption on oneworld........70K is one way (J class) only and not return, correct me if I m wrong.

Sorry. I thought that is for roundtrip redemption since doesn't mention from the chart. Others chart got mention one ways and return.

hi, i am only familiar with enrich. It seems that everybody has been raving about AsiaMiles. Mind telling me info on redeeming? Is there any catch to it?

seat availability, especially US / Europe flights cause ang mo love CX

for asian destinations? what about oneworld redemption?

Hey guys,

I got some qmiles (75000++) from relative

figuring out best way to use it b4 expire.


i found out
Hong kong redemption return for 2 people - taxes pay Rm1300 (Using MAS)


If i pay full price without points. (roughly same date)

Cathay pacific RM1600
Air Asia RM1000
MAS - RM2800


Not much savings

Mh pricing is crazy....who would fly their 737 and pay so much.... Especially when some of the 737s are old leased ones with no ife.....

Is that for economy? For redemption its always more value to redeem business / first class.

Yes economy redemption. But business/ first class higher taxes right?

OT: Went in The Pier at HKIA yesterday... so nice of it, wife say layover 10 hours no problem
