Free 3k KF miles if you are an existing MBB card holder.

you can take me, no veto no nothing

of course shared.

you made business class sounds like hell

Got limit of 2 carrier + Cathay. MAS has limited route thus i guess not popular choice.

u need to look at medium or long hours flight, short hours flights are not worth redeeming.

MAS do throw on some promos now and then, sometimes 50% off the miles required.

That is alot of discount on first class!!!

too bad i just got back from europe else would have considered this.

well u probbly pay back the premium on accom.

maybe someone with alot of pts can do return on first class lol

Guys, back to Asia Miles RTW redemption.

Is my plan workable for J redemption?

QR
SIN-DOH-ATH (transit at Doha so this is consider 1 transfer & 1 stopover?)
5696 Miles

Plan is to get to Santorini, then take a flight to Rome which I will visit a few cities by train and end up in Milan. Take a budget airline flight from Milan to London. Since my last stop was ATH & next departure from LHR, so considered 1 open-jaw?

AA
LHR-LAX (1 stopover; 1 open jaw?)
5456 Miles

Read some review and here that the BA A388 J suck? Seems AA's 77w is a better option?

Plan in US: LAX-LAS-SFO

CX
SFO-HKG (1 stopover)
HKG-SIN (1 stopover)
6927+1587 Miles

TOTAL 19,666 Miles (140k AM redemption)

Can i utilize LAX-LAS domestic flight into my plan? (236 Miles) This will bring the miles to just below 20k in total and total 5 stopovers. Then I just need to get another flight myself from LAS-SFO

Appreciate your comment especially seat availability issues

Thanks!

How many days would you reckon is ideal for road trip for LAX-LAS-SFO? cause from google map total driving for both trips would be like 12 hours.

The mileage was computed with gcmap, will try with the others you mentioned.

Thanks, i only plan maybe a week to 10 days in US thus was thinking of flight between the cities to minimize rushing here and there.

You have experience redeeming CX from SFO or LAS to HKG? Would it be difficult? The popular route is JFK?

thanks for the heads up guys, BA to LAS seems to be another option althought its on the old 747 but the business class only cabin on the upper floor look interesting.

I will keep the option open and appreciate all your comments. Worse case scenario will cut SFO off. Fly into LAS, drive out to LAX and fly off to HKG with CX.

Or who knows, maybe BA will upgrade planes into SFO then it would solve my problem

Hi All,

After reviewing the routes, below is my planned redemption

SIN-DOH-ATH (QR T1; L1)
MXP-LHR-SFO (BA OJ1; T2; L2)
SFO-LAS (AA L3)
LAX-HKG (CX OJ2; L4)
HKG-SIN

4 OW carrier is allowed? Based on the redemption chart;

This awards chart is applicable when you redeem a round-trip award ticket with an itinerary which covers:

Two oneworld alliance airlines, where Cathay Pacific or Dragonair is not included; or
Three or more oneworld alliance airlines when Cathay Pacific or Dragonair is included.

Total estimated miles 20,908 which i am unable to avoid touching the 20k miles mark, unless i take out MXP-LHR & SFO-LAS but i would just like to transit in LHR to cut down the total days. Unless I have my own 'transit' if I take budget airline but a little silly considering how tough the UK border can be.

I' tried researching where else AA fly their new 77w but seems like the only europe city they fly into with these is London. From Italy they only fly into JFK mostly with 772. Domestic transfer will be the regional planes only which we try to avoid.

Also where can i get an estimated tax amount for my redemption?

Thanks, getting it now. So CX is the generous one? Even getting out of SIN there is no YQ.

They usually asked alot of questions and want to see alot of things (your tickets, money)

Are you in SIN? This SC is mad, annual fee cannot waive at $600 and return you 35k miles only now!!

Others that are on-going

1. Krisflyer - 5k welcome bonus + annual fee waiver, extra 3k if you spend $700 within 6 months

2. Citibank - 42k - 50k Miles *

10k Miles - Pay annual fee $200
5k Miles - first spending within 3 months
15k Miles - spend $10k within 3 months

Total bonus 30k

Local spending - 1.2 miles per $1

Oversea spending 2 miles per $1

So if you spend the $10k oversea, you would get 50k Miles.

sadly the last one I can remember of was citibank premier miles that give 60k miles. Since then I dont think there has been anything interesting.

i believe in US you are exposed to better deals, sometimes reading the trip review (some shared how they earn the miles from sign up) makes me wana bang my head to the wall, hard!!

And Visa / Master spending in Msia is sad (especially now they restrict petrol and what not to earn only 1 point)

i am even considering using my SIN CC to pay for places in Msia that doesnt accept AMEX, at least its 2 Miles per $1

dont think its possible.
