QUOTE(digidigi @ Feb 2 2019, 01:24 PM) from Penang? you can transit through changi, I will avoid KL at all cost , a good airport is a good start for a vacation. West coast US you got a lot options actually, SQ, Eva, Cx, japan air, ANA , all good! I know....hence SQ preference over others. Cx really need to buck up else they are falling very fast behind Japan products..... Anyhoo.....chance to load for tomorrow!

QUOTE(muffdiver @ Feb 9 2019, 03:42 PM) This is interesting. How does this work? I thought the Hilton Honors membership is based on stays at the hotel? How does using our Maybank VI work for this? As of late...hotel loyalty programs have been partnering with credit card merchants on offering fast track to their higher elite status. Have to check periodically on this as different merchant has different promotions on going.

QUOTE(msa9696 @ Feb 12 2019, 05:20 PM) Maybank is the most stingy and strict in credit limit, all my other banks got triple my Maybank credit limit. Each time I request, they entertained me by increasing 5k Yeah, my Citibank is more than twice the maybank limit...Maybe I should do what you do...increase 5k each time.

QUOTE(daijoubu @ May 8 2019, 03:38 PM) This 10% devaluation is forcing me to start planning sooner than later Will need to push all my TP to KF liao Has anyone here managed to book suite class to UK before? You have to book the ticket at the turn of midnight to get a saver ticket......else kiss your chance goodbye. I've taken the old suites to NY......all I can say is......daaaayuuuuummmmmm.......

QUOTE(daijoubu @ May 9 2019, 09:39 AM) Thanks for the input Why must it be done at the turn of midnight? Does KF release slots during midnight? Yup, they release the slots at the turn of midnight.....I was observing it for a period of a month to see what days are the best to book the suites under saver fares. tuesdays and wednesdays are you best bet....Weekends are almost nonexistent

Weekend match..... win or lose, it's gonna be all in anyway....ahaha..... I'm still having problems getting my CL to be above 30k. Kind of sad looking at it. lol

QUOTE(glauncher @ May 16 2019, 09:11 AM) My parents are planning to visit New York next year...I checked SQ flights business class most are either waitlist or advantage only, even 8 months to 1 year later...is it wiser to redeem AM for this route? If you know when exactly you want to go, buy the day they release the seats 355 days ahead. You will get suites and business. I've personally flown suites through that route and used that method to get 2 Saver seats without waitlisting.

QUOTE(charlesj @ May 24 2019, 07:53 AM) SQ 92k business saver to Europe. Choose a night flight and sleep all the way then. Most of the people here can afford j, else not worth playing air miles. Once you learnt about j, f is just an upgrade. F is just an upgrade unless it's suites. If there's no suites for SQ, don't bother going to First class as their J class is pretty close to what you get with their F class....even better if you manage to get a bulkhead seat.

QUOTE(db07mufan @ May 24 2019, 12:04 PM) Hell no. SQ F and J difference is night and day. SQ first class and suites is one of the best out there, SQ J i wouldn’t even put them in top 5 Lol..travelled in J a few times with SQ. I won't spend the miles for F apart from being able to go into the private lounge. Suites is a different story, had a lot of fun towards JFK last year...looking to do it again soon.

QUOTE(isaacchew @ May 27 2019, 10:41 PM) Yes, that is the reason that you cannot redeem into someone else's FFP, as they verify the name must be matching the principle cardholder name. Btw, above someone was asking whether miles can be redeemed to supplementary holder's name. For separation of TPs, firstly, the card has to be individual statements, instead of joint statement. Whether supplementary name can redeem, there's conflicting answers. Like you said, card centre says can, but call centre says only can redeem other things, except for airmiles must still be in principal's name. I'm inclined to think the call centre answer is right, but if someone has evidence / experience otherwise please share. Actually they don't verify. I've people transferring their points to my account before. So be wary of your number and ask them to reiterate when you make the call.

QUOTE(isaacchew @ May 28 2019, 02:52 PM) Are you sure? Coz if that works that would be very useful for me, as I would rather redeem to another name rather than the principal cardholder's name. But customer service said if you give a non matching account, it would bounce back with a reject code. Am almost sure but they might change the system now. The last time it happened for me was like half a year back. Also, if you're looking to transfer into krisflyer, do note that it's a violation and they do audit accounts from time to time. If they find out that you are transferring a large number of miles into your account from another person's credit card, you will be penalized.

QUOTE(Lego Warfare @ May 30 2019, 05:02 PM) or US, but according to all the sifus here those seats are as rare as a dodo bird, so I might have to end up going for J class instead. But seems those are quite risky from last min confirmation too Book a year ahead.....exactly when they release the seats....for a tuesday or wednesday flight.....99% sure win.

QUOTE(Lego Warfare @ May 30 2019, 10:09 PM) But that will just place you on waiting list and confirmation on the seats is few days to 2 weeks before departure right? No....you will get saver seats most of the time and instant confirmation. For the new A380, this would be a hit or miss....most likely a miss. Old suites is still plenty.
