Although the cost will be about 50,000 inr + 52,000 miles for both of us, we both get to travel in Kingfisher First and we get some miles back for the booking in Y which hopefully i can bank on AA instead. I think upgrades are of better value than straight miles redemptions.

After reading all the negative reviews on Kingfisher lately, i really did not fancy giving up my SQ A380 J seat.

thanks for the update....i got my seats as well about 3 weeks ago....i posted in the redemption thread....i thought about upgrading as well but then i had a lot of miles to burn so just went ahead & booked 2 redemption seats....cost me a grand total of 104k points & inr 24,600 for 2 one way tickets....
