Asia Miles
 

Anyone else on here have and use them to book flights before?

I have ~45k in points that I'm looking to use on a trip next year and was wondering how easy it is to get flights with the points.

It shouldn't be too bad, but I'm not familiar with OneWorld (AM is a member of OW). I recommend using some award search engine like awardnexus to find availability beyond what Cathay can find for you.

Once you find a seat, call Asia miles and ask them to book it for you (if it doesn't show up on Cathay)

are you looking to upgrade? or redeem? 45k points isn't really a lot. might be better off to use it for upgrade.

Looking to redeem

I remember looking on a link that the Asia Miles website had, and 45k was good enough for a RT flight to Tokyo, NYC, and some other places?

YVR-JKF = 30,000 miles + tax, RT Econ
YVR-NRT = 45,000 mile + tax, RT Econ

These two route are pretty easy to redeem as you are only redeeming for Econ, can do it 1 months before your trip.

Check the sites availability, and then call up to AM to secure it.

I'm still collecting my Asia miles.

I will have enough for a short haul flight after my flight to HKG this autumn.:okay:

Should use RBC Avion credit card to help increase the miles. If you don't fly enough it would be hard to save up AM. Esp with a 5 year expiry date. Unless you partake in YVR-HKG twice a year.
