Have just over 50k KrisFlyer points to use up this month. Was originally looking at a 50k return airfare to New zealand south Island (CHC/ ZQN)..then covid hit.
Not sure if NZ is even an option any more?
Flying from Adelaide.. (Could do a domestic to Eastern states or Perth first I guess). There are two award charts (which I dont understand why)? But looks like Adelaide is in the "not Perth/ Darwin" category. But sure id find nothing from Adelaide (would need to look from syd/melb/perth id assume)..
Destination preferences would be NZ, South Pacific, Singapore, Japan, Thailand, Bali.
Could top up with AMEX transfer for more points as I cant see any 50k return flights any more (is a transfer from Amex instant)?
Is using United search engine still the way to go (then call to book a United spotted flight)? KF search didnt show much at all last time I used it..United had heaps
Any tips?
Cheers
Singapore is upping its seats in the next few weeks out of ADL. You may find better options to SIN coming once the scheduling is confirmed.
Is there any benefit/loss moving KF to Velocity and taking advantage of the new tiered rewards system?
Someone with more experience doing this may be able to answer and provide a comparison.
