CX ranks badly in redemption availability
Good article on just how horrible redemptions have become...cx ranks near the bottom

I'm surprised that SQ has 70% availability??
|
Oneworld airlines are all at the bottom.

Previous Ideaworks survey only focused on Economy right?

Also Ideaworks is looking for "two seats together at the lowest published mileage level" <-- that's clearly not where I live post-22 June 2018.
If not, I would not have to go thru this this morning: https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5a326e1a4d.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d5ac928a16.jpg |
One thing to note for CX in this survey: only route longer than 2500miles and J class or above are chosen.
That’s why CX ranked so low. A lot of CX’s redemption availability are on short haul, eg. TPE and NRT, while long haul availability are mostly on Y/PEY. |
SQ’s been pretty decent actually- both regional and longhaul. A combination of the ability to generate Krisflyer miles @S$0.0143, and no fuel surcharges has meant that I’ve been redeeming a lot for the family on SQ of late. Regional isn’t a direct comparison, but destinations like SFO, where family have never minded an HKG transit, now almost always happen on SQ (usually nonstop, occasionally via HKG).

But I believe suite class is not available for redemption?
Suite to HKG/PVG/DEL/SYD/PEK are available. You can also find suite to London for the old suite though. |
These results are consistent with my general experience. AS is great. SQ is very good. CX is bad. UA is worse.

iberia is the worst i think , never able to find any routes

What difficulty?

Study does not match my experience.
SQ long hual 2 F/J available? Good luck with that. Maybe some specific routes. Alaska product is not even in the same league as the other airlines on the list. 2 F/J American seats being more available than CX? Don't think so. |
The methodology of this survey is so flawed that its results/conclusions are total nonsense.
