With Delta Skymiles awards no longer availbale on MH, I was wondering which airline miles can be redeemed for flights on MH. Thanks in advance.

Except availability has been zeroed out on routes to/from the US for a couple months now....

from LHR they have a lot of availability in F and C with Air France/KLM miles, more or less every flight that I have checked for my F trip in July

WARNING!!

If you are connecting, you may find great difficulty getting C inventory on your connecting flight - I booked an MH award in Jan, had relatively little difficulty with the F segments LHR-KUL-LHR, but had to make a real fuss to get KUL-BKK-KUL on C, there appears to be some kind of embargo on these awards from MH. Full gory tale is Here (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=512920) - all worked out in the end, but it was a real fight!

Having said that, the F experience on MH was definitely worth fighting tooth and nail for!

Its very tough earning miles on MH.

I am Enrich Gold (which can only be achieved by flying C or F on MH ) and I dont even get a single bonus mile for being a loyal customer. Many economy fares on MH wont even earn me any mile. And there is no such thing as a MH branded credit card for me to earn miles.

I wouldnt even dare compare how easy a typical FF with other airlines are able to earn miles.

Given the difficulty of earning miles when flying MH, I would put a very high value on award seats in MH's premium cabin. It makes no sense for MH to give away these premium seats "for cheap" to FF who dont contribute anything to their coffers, while making it so difficult for their own FF to earn the same award seat.

So for those of you who have managed to redeem award seats on MH by using miles from 3rd rate airlines, be very grateful for MH's generousity/stupidity :(

MH's overall attitude vis a vis miles, whether it is their own program or credits to other programs, may be a big contributing factor to MH's financial woes. I took them 2 week back and now I am not sure to which program I can credit my C flights...
