So Assuming that then SEA is not definitely worth it for your SQKF.
I'm definitely not an expert, but was thinking, if Mishkira is going to travel 1 or 2/month to South Asia (did you mean India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. or do you mean SEA like Vietnam, Cambodia?) and 1/month to China, wouldn't it be better for him to accrue it to SQKF? For these reasons:

1. Even without getting PPS, he is still very likely to be SQ*G? And since SQ will give preference to SQ KF members as opposed to other *G members, wouldn't it be better for him?

2. Some routes in China and India, I understand, are served by MI and not SQ. They won't earn miles on BD right?

I was thinking that Mishkira could credit his miles to SQKF, but try to use his 120K miles for something (like a reward flight).

Feel free to correct me!
