QUOTE(cantona7 @ Mar 31 2017, 03:43 PM) Yes. JAL. But I don't whether OW single carrier allows stopover or not. JAL (KUL-NRT) stopover then (NRT-LAX). If allow, then great! Anyone has experience on this? if using enrich miles, cannot add stopover for OW single carrier redemption already. Anything more than 24 hour will count as separate segment. |

QUOTE(miuk @ Mar 29 2017, 02:05 AM) Per @raist86, you need to search for availability using BA or JL or Qantas. Redeeming award flights is not as easy like what they say in the marketing brochures. Either you make your booking at 330 days in advance or 2 weeks before flying for best availability. For eg. I just booked my CNY 2018 trip about 2 weeks ago for coming back to KUL and I'm now searching for my return flight back (looking at either CX, JL or BR). U mean u booked exactly 330 days in advance and then only for the outbound? For coming back, have to wait for exactly 330 days before flight to book? Is that what u mean? |

QUOTE(Stan81 @ Mar 31 2017, 01:50 PM) I think this is a good problem. For the first time, I converted Maybank TP to 1,000 AM to activate my AM account. Instead of 4,770 TP (VI), I only got charge 1,508. No idea how to come out with 1,508. Is it some kind of first time conversion bonus? Wow can you find out the reason? If there's an ongoing promo I'd like to utilise all my points too. |

I googled around before posting this and could not find any. Afraid that I will not able to find out the reason, don't think I will call Maybank CS, if this is their mistake, this is like surrender myself  I will wait for my next statement to see whether they will correct the conversion point or not. |

Is that what u mean? Most mileage programs only allow you to book 330/331 days in advance (some also allow for 355 days such as BA, etc.) So i booked my first leg on SQ since i was trying to book it before the devaluation. Now i'm waiting for the booking window to open for my 2nd leg. |

BA Club World is quite poor. MH A380 J much better. This post has been edited by dctravels: Apr 1 2017, 11:21 AM |

The only thing that i am not too sure is what the charges will be if you dial this 1800 from your mobile phone but it should be free from a fixed line. |

And, I understand AM is very hard to redeem for those with no elite status? Thought about converting into AM but if points stucked inside cannot redeem also Susah. At least with Enrich... more or less sure to get to redeem LHR or Oz or NRT. |

That said, you can check availability first before converting into AM. But ya, AM redemption can be a pain. |

Looks like might be doable: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/star-allian...r-alliance.htmlI did a quick search using Avianca and was able to price the following award out, so looks like *Alliance partner award should work as well suing Krisflyer. However to be honest i think it's a waste of miles. Cash price for a round trip (july/Aug) is only $60-70 via Ryanair and $120 via Olympic.

Thanks. From the forum, it is confirmed that we able to book Olympic air under codeshare. There is direct flight from Athens to Santorini, but dont know why Avianca show connecting flight instead. I need to travel from Prague or Vienna to Santorini, so maybe still worth it as the travel distance is longer and YQ for Aegan is very low. |
