But why to do an MR in Y especially if you r gonna be buying Y too??

Pls advise & moreover especially if u r in SIN then you have a world of oppurtunity infront of you even if you are in Y. Why EK???

All ok if you fancy the EK Gold Card Kit & the May be not so common OpUp once in a while that you might get on a Holy day. Otherwise looks like the Alliances offer a better deal for Y paxs if they are in the League or looking forward to getting in it@:-).


Pls correct me.

Well, firstly, the miles earned this way are cheaper than buying them off skywards.com. I sort of have nothing better to do in life, so I'm happy doing a Y MR (with the hope of an op-up somewhere).

Second, I've never been to Auckland so a few days there would be a good change from SIN.

Third, I'm based out of DXB and SIN, so EK/ EY are the only options. I don't like SQ. I love EK, but their whole Saver and Flex thing is making attaining status very difficult. A couple of these AKL runs a year and then I won't care so much about buying Saver fares.
