I am planning a trip from LAX to PVG (Shanghai) in May.

I have a friend who has 200,000 KLM Miles that he said he would give to me. The problem I have is I have no clue how to make this work or happen. I know KLM has "partners", but can I use these miles if he gives them to me?

How do I know how many miles it would cost to buy a ticket? It seems like some of their "partners" say that mileage rewards can only be used by a family member.

I'm just so confused, and don't know where to go to figure all this out. I know I can count on someone on this page to help me understand.

I would love to fly Business Class at least, seeing as I am 6'3 and 250 pounds. Thanks everyone for helping me figure this out.
