Useless for me, I wanna redeem QR to Europe, AM shows available, call to MH they say not available.

Im back! AMOMC 1st section done ...

summary..
CX Lounge in KLIA = so so
CX in-flight meal = great
CX The Wing Biz Lounge in HK = great, but noodle need long Q
PEK MH ground staff service = terrible! Counter only open 3hrs before flight (out-source). 2 counter for Biz, me n mi'lady in different Q see which 1 faster, end up faster 1 took us 45mins to clear. Long Q again at immigration, end up our advance time all gone in Q.
BGS Premier Lounge at PEK = so so (same standard as CX KLIA Lounge)
MH in-fight meal = so so (if u compare to CX menu, its nothing at all)
Flight Club at KLIA = food presentation nice, taste normal, cozy place, we got the most left corner which is a sofa seat, quiet, comfortable and nice view on the tarmac. Oh, can hop back to PPL for shower n whatsover, the 3hr access is shared

Inexperience staff I guess, took so long for each counter to clear 1 passenger.

Economy counter move way faster.

Nope, I use PriorityPass.

Didnt try, I chose the nearest lounge, PEK T3 gates is very far between each other, short of time and I just wanna grab some drinks

maybe, when I was there, it's midnight already, just few kitten hanging around

Another issue for u to consider ... there is no turning back.

After Apartments, just imagine u fly long haul with economy class. That's happen on me, coz my wife ask me, "how do i fly on eco class anymore?"

Must be AMEX plat? Gold or Normal charge card cannot?

an update for my AMOWMC ticket, consist of CX, MH, BA, IB, QR

we can actually use QR to manage the seat selection on MH (IB too), where I found out most of the nice seat has been taken up in the A380 instead of wait til 48hrs before flight

Hola! Just back from holiday, 21 days

Completed 2nd part of OWMCA ticket.

KUL-LHR, MH = agreed, on chef-on-call is ok, A380 still as good, MH golden lounge good too
LHR-LIS, BA = pathetic business class, as it use old A320, economy seat but block the middle seat and claim as business, BA business lounge good
LIS-MAD, IB = good, Blue Lounge with snack only, so so
BCN-DOH-KUL, QR = QR service is incredible! Sala Miro Lounge Bacelona with pastries, snack and instant noodle cup. Qatar Airways Al Mourjan Business Lounge, i think the size is twice bigger than MH Golden Lounge, seating very comfortable, shower room very nice and with smoking room inside a lounge LOL, but with less food choice

I had too much bread in past weeks so sandwich is to skip.. so far to walk from sandwich bar to the upstair restaurant ... it was 6am local time during my visit, alot ppl mostly from transit I guess, food choices are merely basic breakfast and made to order omelette.

the water pool is almost Olympic size swimming pool... crazy

Looking at SIN-AKL during CNY on suites, 1 way open, 1 way on waitlist for 2 pax, how likely they will clear for nobody like me?

AM online redemption only will show CX/KA, BA, QR, QF and Finnair.

To redeem JAL, u need to call AM

still very general hah.

if u commit to MH, then next to decide is where u wanna fly, with the OneWorld alliance, u can basically fly to anywhere. MH is very generous on seat availability for MH itself, but not sure with OW.

QR is ok for its seat availability on J, just that the YQ is killing (anyhow it's cost is close to MH)
CX n SQ .. stingy

LHR-Milan under BA Club Europe, it's 3 seating but middle seat was blocked by a tray. Google it and u know what it is, happen on me during LHR-LIS, feel like conned, big downside.
