41000 Miles to use wisely from Zurich.
So, I now have 41,600 miles, as does my partner.
I've never redeemed miles before so need some advice.
Later this year we'd like to fly again with That to Penang, returning from Tokyo, always via HK of course.
Zurich - Hong Kong requires 41000 AM to upgrade from Economy and 50000 to upgrade Zurich-HK Return from Premium Economy.
Does this mean I can both either
a) Economy for 800USD and then redeem one of the ZRH-HK legs to use the 41K or
b) Premium Economy for 1550USD and redeem both legs but have to pay for the missing 8,400 miles?
Is that correct or do I have this all wrong?
