Normally its not a good idea to purchase miles. But with the current aaadvantage promo of 75% bonus would that then be worthwhile purchasing all miles to redeem for qsuites?
Just booked 2 one way AUH-DOH-SIN for 40K C$53/each using AA miles in November, AS wanted 100K each. Qsuites on the SIN leg.
Hi Ricky, do you think that it might be possible in the future to book Cathay Pacific redemption flights directly on the website without having to call since Alaska has joined One World?
I definitely think it’s possible, although it’ll probably result in Cathay First availability getting even more competitive to snag.
So AS updated their award charts to include QR but didn’t take out EK or SQ. Interesting. And while they might have had this up before, i don’t like to looks of “starting at…” for JL redemptions to Asia.
Emirates doesn’t end until July 31.
For JAL, it looks like they’ve consolidated the previous Asia 1 and Asia 2 zones into a single “starting at” chart. Shouldn’t make too much of a difference in practice, though I agree that it gives Alaska more leeway to charge whatever higher prices they want, which isn’t a good thing.
Alaska Air award chart is up, but doesn’t show anything from N America to Asia; most routes from N.America to Middle East is 85k Alaska Miles biz class. For the Asia route, can’t beat Alaska Miles’ 50k Business class or 70k first class to Asia/HKG on Cathay Pacific.
85K to Indian Subcontinent is ultimately the only one worth writing home about here.
Could you make an updated video on how to redeem Alaska miles?
We’ll be talking Alaska this weekend.
