But end of the day, if you're primary goal is reducing cash outlay, use KF miles. If you want slightly better value per point, use AC. If you want overall lowest price, and are willing to sacrifice comfort on a two hour flight, fly Scoot.
The SQ flight I'm pretty sure costs more than the Scoot flight, so that calculation is apples and oranges. It's probably between 1.5 and 2 cpm for the SQ redemption, which is decent.
SQ flight is $203. If paying cash, I won't even consider SQ considering the price differential. It works out to about 1.6 cents per mile on AC, just okay, not bad, not great either. I think I''ll save my miles for Premium flights or Hyatt hotels (Chase points).
Thank you all.
