Oh... if we know the exact miles and also the top up cash difference... can see whether worth it or not..if the mile difference is 45k and we assign value of RM0.08 per mile, then unless we need to top up more than RM3,600 then could be better to go with AM... of course , this is rough estimate and different people assign diff values

Generally yes but answer isn't that straight forward.
Some airlines will have different clauses and of course different miles required.
I will suggest you aim for their own redemption (kf redeem sia, am redeem Cathay), after getting familiar only look into partner airlines.

Maybe u can tell us how many miles u have and where u want to go, and whether u have any preferences, I will give some suggestion

Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines can board at KL or need to go to HK / SG to transit?

kf is region based redemption, so the miles should be the same whether starting from kul/pen/bkk or sin...of course you will fly first to sin to connect the main flight....

am i think some additional miles needed for the kul-hkg leg......

mean CP and SA need to fly to respective headquarter first before main flight.

of course lah, it's the same for all airlines....you fly to europe with the me3, have to transfer at bxb/doh/auh....it's call their home hub....

ok noted. thanks a lot 

understanding this, KF is a better option than AM because Singapore is nearer

btw, what is connecting partner?

and, in order to redeem points, firstly we need to create a KF/AM account, right?

my country prefereces are mostly in Asia with 4 seasons like Japan, Korea and Taiwan...

any recommedation which miles should i redeem? EM / KF / AM?

from the announcement, it does not mention M2P? Does it mean M2P will not affected by the miles redemption devaluation?

i am based in Kl, will be traveling to sydney and london. which airline do you recommend ? thinking of MAS since they provide route this region

If MU wins this weekend, my TP maybe just around 200k. I don't think it will help in any way for my trip to Finland/Germany (either one) and Shanghai this year.

If y class just do em.....if j class, em miles is crazy, so use kf.....the hard and soft product are better anyway, except the need for a transit.....which I use for a free short holiday in Singapore....

200k TP enough for Shanghai 

Really? This lives up my hope... I only started collecting in February... Hopefully trip will be in September for me to collect more points but Europe trip will be soon, I think... Depending on my travel partner's business trip schedule, I only tag along.

AM has sweet spot to Mainland China, u can reach most CX destination within the 2750 NM distance, at 50k AM per pax in J round trip.
