Should I just buy miles from the Cathay website (10K miles@300USD) or buy the miles from other websites like sellmyrewards.
Can I ask any friends to transfer miles or book for me? Does it work instantly or take 2-3 days.
How are you getting from BLR to HKG? If you have to buy a ticket, and adding that to using $ to buy the additional miles, wouldn't it all be cheaper and less hassle if you're to just purchase your ticket in the first place?
