Based in SIN, and redemptions from here are all in excess of my balance

Any suggestions for how best to use the miles? If I book a random ticket within India, will it be valid for one year, and can I change the routing later?

Thanks

AFAIK, you cannot change the routing later but as keyser said, u can surely make date changes..



A question came to my mind.. what if someone makes a award ticket say DEL - JAI.. then later cancels it .. With this JP will refund his miles after some deduction.. Can we rebook another route with these miles or will these expire immediately ( since 3 yrs have passed ) when these were recredited to the account ?? anyone has any experience on this ??
If this is possible, it may seem route change is also possible with some minor (500 points max) penalty ?

Any reward tickets cancellation leads to the points going back to the account in the same sequence they came in [FIFO in digital parlance]. so for instance if you booked a ticket with June 2011 expiring miles for travel in december 2011, and cancel in nov 2011 due to whatever reasons, the block of miles expiring in june 2011 will not be credited. the t&c very clearly state that!

Or you can transfer the miles at a cost of Rs. 200 per 500 miles into someone's account and they get a 12 month extension... 9W's answer to Krisflyer's pay to extend miles...
