1. Yea I guess it depends on the flight. I think I was trying to ask if the flights will work out cheaper for the most part or if you have to be lucky to find one cheaper.

2. Care to name any more? Should I be looking at Global Airline Alliances or any just any Airline Programs that happen to offer some rewards.

3. I mean, if I wanted to book a first/business class flight from Frankfurt to Singapore, is there a general consensus that booking 2 weeks in advance of the flight will yield a cheaper return than booking it for say 6 months - or again is it completely dependence on the flight/route and airline?

4. That what? Linky please - I'm new!

Thanks for your help.

1. It's hard to say theoretically. For the most part Lifemiles should be cheaper than purchasing a paid revenue fare for business or first class, but the tradeoff is the lack of flexibility.

2. With Lifemiles you can book reward flights on any star alliance airline except TAM.

3. No. With miles the amount required are fixed for the most part.
