Another offer for miles purchase. At first I thought it would be "up to 50%", meaning you would have to spend the maximum to get 50%, but no. It's 50% free miles no matter what you buy!

Not bad. But..still 1,6 cents per mile. May be worth it if you have a specific award in mind..

Yeah...I think the best option would be US to Europe. That's the only worthwhile route, i think .

Why do you think so?
Intra-region business far east is also very good value.

From T&C:
Members are eligible to purchase up to 50,000 Award miles within their membership year (twelve consecutive months from their enrollment or last tier upgrade/retain). It is clarified that Members that haven’t registered at least one flight on their Miles+Bonus account, are eligible to purchase up to 30,000 Award miles.

So the only thing you can do is register a flight.

Agreed. 21k miles isn't a bad deal at all.

Agreed. I used miles to fly TG A380 from BKK to NRT in lie-flat J and worth it. I also redeemed a new J class on TG A330 and will fly in December all this was 21k miles + tax .

May I know how much is the tax for TG?

Sorry that I could not find out myself because I don’t have enough miles to search.

Thanks

You dont need the M&B site to find out how much taxes are needed. Use Matrix - ITA Software by Google, select one way, departure and arrivals, and also select your airline (C: NH+, or C: TG+, or C: SQ+, or C: BR+, or C: OZ+ etc), select sales city as Athens, and select currency as Euro.
The results should show you a business class fare, and the breakdown shows the fuel surcharges and taxes (YQ, YR, taxes etc.)

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I think different FFP charges different carrier surcharge for the same award flights. Some FFPs such as UA MileagePlus and lifemiles has little to none carrier surcharges.

Thanks for advice. However, I think different FFP charges different carrier surcharge for the same flights. UA MileagePlus and lifemiles has little to none carrier surcharge. Others within the Alliance have very high surcharge on the same award flight. I just wonder where Miles+Bonus falls.
