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.

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.

Glad to help - 9W cc can be totally incompetent with lazy agents making up their own rules because they don't want to work.Originally Posted by d3vski
