Cheapest *A Miles Purchase
Hello
I am looking to purchase around 60k miles for a o/w US to SE Asia award on Star Alliance. Which FFP in *A offers the lowest miles purchase rate? Unfortunately I missed the US Airways purchase promotion earlier this year :-(

BMI's Diamond Club is 20K from North America to HK. Or 30K to SE Asia like SIN/MYS or Thailand. Its miles plus cash award. Multiply by 1.5 for Business class award.
Above are oneway. x2 for return.

agree bmi is a good option however you can only buy 24k miles in a year.
You will need to look at the redemption rate for your route and the max purchase - do you have any miles currently on any program or are you starting with zero to buy and redeem?
