Just for fun I was checking recently using BA miles to thailand. Lots of availability, but 100,000 miles plus $500ish in taxes. Is that normal miles and fees for an economy seat? Seems awfully high by comparison to CO who charged more like $60 in fees for our trips.
CX from the US to HKG-BKK in BUSINESS is 100K + $400 in BA fees. They just started adding the stupid fuel charges to their partners. I just booked it. If I booked a 20 minute earlier flight HKG-BKK on Royal Jordanian instead of CX, the tariff was 240K ! Watch out for 2 partner awards obviously. wj
