Well summarized. I think I am in Hyper's situation, where the value of Skywards has been much more devalued for those in the US (redemptions and upgrades have also become insanely hard).
Btw - does anyone have any good idea on WHY EK won't have a third tier?
PS: For SIN - HYD, are you going to go via DXB? I know SQ has dropped the HYD route, but MI still goes direct right?
