You mean both of your tickets were saver?

Normally around what time they open the seats daily?

I see so many advantage tickets available all year long, savers take nampak

Thank you

Both tickets are saver. 12am on the dot they open the new seats for dates which are 1 year ahead so you gotta plan well.

Yes they do. Have fun. smile.gif most routes have Savers open. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the best days to book.

Are you optimistic you’ll fly again within that few months?

One can dream. Prolly not in Q2 but hopeful in Q3/Q4.

The way I see it, able to get a J return flight to Japan every two years would already make the Annual fees make sense......

Why want to pay when we can get it for free?
J to Japan via KF = 47k x2 (return) in 2 years.
To make calculation easy, we take 1 year 49k miles.

Assume spending 50% VI, 50% Amex
To achieve 49k miles, you need to spend RM70k
35k VI x 0.4 = 14k miles
35k Amex = 35k miles

This is merely short of RM10k!
Use it to pay something getting 0TP / 0 cash back, easily worth more than AF RM800!
*
Well, that's assuming the spending is that way. Sure, why not? lol

Am just saying, even if one has to pay, it's still worth it for the sake of enjoying a more premium way of travelling.

If your TP isn't expiring, suggest not to redeem now.
Depending on your flying preference + available miles, both KF and AM have own advantages.
If you already owned a lot KF, suggest to go AM for "evergreen".
Also, you may want to gain KF Gold status, best to wait till early next year to maximize your gold period.

Miles conversion does not give you status upgrade in KF.

That's why the promo.
See whether you want to take the chance.
If you get the tier in early next year, your gold will be valid until early 2023.

Do you have a link to the promo?

Hmmmmmm......actually won't benefit much for gold since I would be getting J/F tickets anyway.....

Here's the detail:

Yes, you are right, many will be flying J/F when sky is open due to excessive miles.
Anyway, status tier is mainly for frequent flyers, it will be useful if you are flying a lot.
Link below for the extra perks.
Here is the list of gold benefits, nothing much if you are flying J/F.
However, I will appreciate if I am given priority in waitlist.
Oh, also the Gold luggage tag.

Ah..the milelion....stopped reading them when the pandemic happened and i realize that the furthest I can go is 10k km from my house...lol.thanks for the link bro. Typically fly SQ longhaul once or twice a year so the status doesn't matter much to me I guess.

Why waitlist?
I can find availability in Oct for 2 with advantage

Cause waitlist is only what I can find for all suites flights now. Lucky to get advantage and for 2 pax to be waitlisted too. Else have to claim full points which is not worth it IMO.
