  1. I am pretty sure you can't upgrade KUL-LHR on MH using AA miles. You can upgrade LHR-JFK-LHR on AA metal tho. You could either have someone donate you a systemwide upgrade or upgrade using miles + co-pay.

     

    And I am pretty sure you can't upgrade KUL-LHR-JFK using Enrich miles too (you mentioned in your earlier post) - it's AA code and MH can't change your booking class.

     

    JFK-LHR is an extremely short flight tho. My flight last month was only 5.45 hours!

     

     

    Pretty sure you can't redeem enrich miles by calling American :)

     

    Hm, yes. Made another call to AA and the agent told me the only flight they could upgrade was LHR-JFK (AA metal) and it had to be AA miles.

     

    Just confused with the wording on OneWorld website :

    Members of each oneworld alliance airline are able to earn and redeem miles with their airline partners – so when you're ready to redeem your miles or points for a travel award, oneworld brings you more options than ever.

     

    So are my options closed for a redemption upgrade ?


  2. Booked KUL - (LHR) - JFK - (LHR) - KUL via american airlines website (@ around USD1000). Fare code outbound is V, inbound is L.

     

    Wondering if there is a method to upgrade to Business ? Hopefully cost efficient :p

     

    KUL - LHR - KUL portion is operated by MH, but unfortunately was told by Enrich that I can't use my miles as booking wasn't via MH.

     

    Just to update this, can redeem Enrich miles by calling American Airlines.

     

    They have 2 sectors avaible on my trip, KUL-LHR (35,000 miles) and JFK - LHR (25,000 miles) and some kind of ticket change fee of USD300.

     

    Good offer or better places to spend my points ?

    remind me of what ANA did with their domestic flights..only provided free drinks, hot meals all b.o.b

     

    flew with them KCH - KUL today. hot meal served for the 1st time in a long while ! choices where :

     

    1. Chicken with rice

    2. Roti prata with fish curry

     

    Dessert was a piece of sponge cake. Coke & Spirte still from those 1.5 litre bottles though.


  5. Twice I've been on MAS a380 and economy class seat was disgusting... Bits of vomit not cleaned from the table. There was a smell of old vomit throughout the flight. We had to clean the table with our wet wipes before we could even use it. Cost cutting was showing even in 2013

     

    I'm frequently on long haul (including A380) and short haul on MH Business / Economy . Cleanliness didn't use to be a problem until around 2013 ? Nowadays seats look as if there havent been wiped down for weeks, and grime on IFE controller is a given (in any class).

     

    Have you guys ever see the aircraft cleaners at work? I wouldn't call it cost cutting as it happens all the time.

     

    Yeap, the team of 6-7 people are always there. Problem is I've no idea what they've been doing during the 40 minute turn around time. MasWings planes are downright filthy, though I've never tried Firefly or any other prop service in M'sia.

     

    Going to give AK some credit there in saying they at least have clean interiors !


  6. I went to Jakarta last month and I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Kemayoran area. I looked at the area and found out this area which appeared to be rather green and different from the slump housing around Jakarta and suspected it looked like an airport.

     

     

    Thanks !!! Didn't know this till today ... even though I've read the name so many times over during my childhood. Makes much more sense now :D (No access to Google in the early 90's)

     

    Flight 714 - Adventures of Tintin

    It is a sinking ship and there is at least 3 captains - the old CEO, the CRO and the new Irish CEO. So who is actually the one in charged here? Does the CRO reporting to the new CEO? Or the new CEO is reporting to the CRO? And just imagine the overlapping in the job scope that will happen.

     

     

    How about the Admirals & Captains at Khazanah ? Not forgetting if "MAS Act" passes, then we may be blessed with a Minister or three to ensure everything runs smoothly ;)


  8. I've always had all my HIlton stays credited into my Enrich account, maybe check to see if your MyWay preferences are set at miles + points?

     

    Yeap, had it set that way for the past 2 years (HHonors) but decided to switch to points + points since it never worked for me !

     

    Slightly OT, but does any other FFP offer status matching with Enrich / OneWorld Sapphire ?


  9. Gold not good enough la for Suzanne

     

    I've also been facing problems claiming a recent CX J flight with Enrich, usually all my miles post into Enrich without a problem.

     

    Anybody managed to have Enrich miles posted from Seri Pacific (ex-Pan Pacific next to PWTC) or Hilton (HHonors Diamond) offers ?

     

    Despite making sure my Enrich number was recorded down , never had it posted once from any hotels.
