  1. if I am not wrong, the fuel surcharge and airport for Economy or Business Class is about the same, give and take about 5% difference the most. This is based on my experience redeeming it last year. Redeeming it for Economy is not worth it as there will always be promotion either on MH or other airlines on Economy which makes the difference between the surcharge and the actual promo ticket to be very small.

     

    For example,

     

    Flight to LAX - RM3700 (during promo) Eco Class

    RM12000 (during promo) Biz Class

     

    Enrich Redemption to LAX -

    Points + Surcharge of RM2300 for Eco Class (Save RM1.3k)

    Points + Surcharge of RM2500 for Biz Class (Save RM9.5k)

     

    So, if you have the miles, aim for Biz class


  2.  

    I think there's a 90% chance you'll be flying JL/AA out of NRT.

     

    I have never taken JL before. Thought of doing that, but looking at the connection time, it sets me back a bit.

     

    Are we allowed to go out during the long transit (looking at 10hrs for KUL-LAX and 17hrs for LAX-KUL)?

     

    Comparing CX,JL and AA for Y Class, any difference?


  3. Pls correct me or expand on this if this is incorrect...

     

    but I found out that generally, mileage/ sector credits into an Enrich account of a Oneworld airline-marketed/ ticketed flight (say, BA xxxx) is only acceptable if that flight is not operated by a third party, even if that third party flight-operator is MH or another Oneworld airline (say CX or even MH!!). So, a BA flight must (generally) be operated by BA, not MH or JL, for the travel to be credited into Enrich

     

    Very limited exceptions to the above rule do exist, but generally - the above rule applies. I just find it strange within the Oneworld airline fraternity.

     

    What you are trying to say is that for example if I am buying a JL ticket to LAX, with KUL-NRT by JL and NRT-LAX is by AA, I will not be able to get the miles for NRT-LAX sector?


  4. Just received an email from MH regarding a change in departure time from LAX from a previous 4.45pm to 4.20pm, so don't know if NRT-LAX is up for scraps...

     

    Time change for departure flight from LAX is quite common i think. I had one in May last year as well. The flight was retimed earlier by about 30 minutes. Should be due to time slots or the tailwind to ensure they depart NRT before the curfew at 11pm


  5. There was once flying on EK from KUL, the APU was faulty and there was no air conditioning during boarding. The whole plane was like in a sauna.The flight got delay about 30 minutes more and imagine the heat inside the plane and there is nothing they can do about it until airborne. At least, the captain informed the passengers about the issue.
