I only got through the first 10 or so pages of this thread, then gave up both due to frustration and lack of time.
I'm based in Europe but used to spend most of my miles on J awards in Asia (mostly travelling between Japan, China, Singapore, Korea) on SG/TG/OZ/NH, which after the changes i don't think i'd want to do any more.
Is there an alternative A* FFP that would still have rates similar to the current saver award rates intra-asia in MP?
