15K 9W miles to be used.
Dear all,
Between the wife and I, we have a total of 15K miles that will no doubt expire within the next year. I am thinking of booking a OW MAA-CMB for 4K in Y as there is no J on the flight I specifically need. Basically it joins up a LHR-SIN-MAA // CMB-SIN-LHR. Cash price is £85 but using 4K miles, i am only paying £26. Not the greatest saving but better than letting the miles go down the pan. Can anyone think of a better use? I have got nothing planned. I could do day trips when i am in India in May. Don't mind travelling in Y either. |
that would be decent use of the miles given the fact that you don't have much to work with....any saving is better than no saving at all....;)

MAA-CMB almost never goes full in biz - try redeeming for another date and waitlisting - it's a risk, but if you are taking the evening departure - I believe that is 9W 252 if not wrong - then your chances are good of getting a seat (its a 16 seater aircraft vs 8 in biz)

Unfortunately I am restricted to one flight on a specific date (4th may 2012 0130 dep) as this is a quick 3 day trip for a close friends wedding. Worst comes to worst, I will go in Y for a 1 hr flight. |
Y seat has been confirmed but i was shocked to hear that my status with 9W is not good enough for them to waitlist me for a reward seat in premiere.
Another reason why Kingclub is better than JetPrivilege. I have same status on both: Kingclub Red VS JetPrivilege Blueplus. No problems with Kingfisher about waitlisting on a premium cabin. I have had enough of Jet and their stingy FF program. |
WL in any cabin is not tier restricted. You were getting BS from another incompetent 9W agent. Just hang up and call back a while later.
