Need to book a roundtrip economy ticket on NH IAD-SIN around March/April, any credit card promotions? Also looking at redeeming business class on QR using 175k Asia Miles but can't find any availability yet. It's for my mom so looking at flights with the least transit options. NH is going for S$1.3k.

Need to book a roundtrip economy ticket on NH IAD-SIN around March/April, any credit card promotions? Also looking at redeeming business class on QR using 175k Asia Miles but can't find any availability yet. It's for my mom so looking at flights with the least transit options. NH is going for S$1.3k.
My suggestion will be to keep looking for J on QR. Also - if youre ready to spend 175K on QR J, then how about considering TK J? I rate TK J> QR J.
I guess some may have reservations transiting IST in current env specially for parents. - if so then best options would be to redeem TK J (via SQ or Lifemiles).
I would personally use lifemiles and have done so few months back at good value.

Free shipping doesn't seem that different from the generic FSSG.
For me it's a nice promo to get some extra miles for activities that I already normally do.

I wasnt able to replicate NH for same price that you mention. if so, this sounds quite cheap.

Yeah S$1.3k is a good price (all NH operated flights too). It's available from NH direct website too, did you look there? I notice TK J requires 195k KF Miles though compared to 175K AM Miles. QR is using B77W 2-2-2 seats for IAD-DOH and A359 1-2-1 for DOH-SIN. Not sure about QR or TK's inflight service though.
