Limited time promo before year-end by MAS.

Convert your CC points into miles and earn 1/10 of it as ELITE Miles

1. Yes, but surcharge varies.

2. CX, BA, QA and 1-2 more airlines can redeem thru Asiamiles online websites. Others airlines need to fill up online form or call CS directly.

About 10-15%?

I see KUL-LHR business class devalued to 184k miles (from 170k miles)

Just straight go to the 2nd chart for One-Way Saver Awards

For MY/SG, we are Zone 1 and 2 - usually similar miles required

Then look at your destination.

For example, Zone 7 for Japan and Zone 11 for Europe. That's the miles required to fly one-way

For return flight under One-Saver, you get a complimentary stopover

Last year, i got KL-Mumbai business class for about RM1.7k return.

even cheaper than Economy lololol

It depends. Airlines do upgrade passengers to Business, especially from Premium Economy.

I was on a business trip to US once, flying Cathay via HK. Was flying Premium Economy, and then got upgraded to Business class at the boarding gate. Maybe because I'm at the first row of Premium Economy and my ticket was booked together with my friend (who is flying Business).

On the other hand, I flew MH Business to Mumbai, India once and the cabin has few empty seats

Same service - drinks, food, menu, amenities kit etc all the same

Login and search for flights at Cathay Pacific website

I suppose so. It's a very popular route afterall.

KUL-Doha have plenty of availability, but Doha-JFK is the 1 fully-booked usually. Your next option is to book Japan Airlines perhaps, or stick to Cathay Pacific

don't think you can get any less than 70k miles one-way to Europe

AsiaMiles just recently devalued the redemption on partner award....zzzz

My 50k miles one-way business class become 61k now

Should be all their medium hall route. From Flyertalk forum.

All Medium partner awards:

Y: 25,000AM --> 27,000AM (+2,000AM)
PE: 35,000AM --> 43,000AM (+8,000AM)
J: 50,000AM --> 61,000AM (+11,000AM)
F: 75,000AM --> 87,000AM (+12,000AM)

I was looking at PRG-DOH-MLE route. It was still 50k last week when I checked.

My KUL-DOH-BUD remains the same at 70k miles.

Now i'm short of some miles to redeem SQ back to KUL. lol

Y - economy
PE - Premium Economy
J - Buisness
F - First

Their medium haul flight miles requirement was devalued recently. If not, 50k miles (now 61k miles) for one-way J class KUL-Tokyo on Japan Airlines is quite good value

Thankfully, they haven't revised the Multi-carrier Award redemption. My upcoming honeymoon trip in April 2020

KUL-DOH-BUD - Qatar Airways
PRG-DOH-MLE - Qatar Airways
MLE-CMB-KUL - Sri Lankan Airlines

All for 135k miles + roughly RM3k++ in taxes/surcharges

KUL-DOH and DOH-MLE legs are Qsuites route. But whether u get it depends on luck i guess. QR is famous for its equipment change

This 1 have to call the CS.

CX or Asiamiles online redemption only can handle up to 4 cities.

Plus I have 3 transits (more than 2 allowed), so I need to make special ‘arrangement’ to ticket one of the transits as stopover

or do Multi-Carrier Award

Mostly medium haul flights

for my case, PRG-MLE miles got bumped from 50k to 61k if i book separately

I saw some tips and tricks that highlight 1 particular sweet spot for Asiamiles - 50k miles for Vancouver-Tokyo. maybe it's because of this? lol

Redeem Asiamiles and use 135-140k miles to redeem Qatar or British Airways. But prepare to pay cash for surchages

Calling Asiamiles MY toll-free hotline is way better than asking their online chat for help/clarification. Finally did redemption for my trip next year
