Alaska Airlines 40% offer

Anyone else having issues trying to sign into the Mileage Plan section of the Alaska Airlines website?

No, but I do take issue with unannounced award devaluation changes to EK First. Maybe the website is clogged up with all the yanks logging in and checking how little their MP points are worth now?

Yep, saw that. Good thing it hasn't affected the South Pacific awards..

So still good to buy miles for AUS-HKG awards?

I've always thought this would be good for MEL-HKG-CAN flights if i could get the seats.

Currently! The main concern about the changes is that they occurred without notice, so no real guarantee other routes won't be devalued at any time.

Yep all good

Just booked SYD - HKG / HKG - YVR ( Stop over for day and 1/2 in HKG ) on CX

Very good to deal with

Picked up 3 x J flights from CNS & BNE to HKG return on CX with AS Miles to date and what a bargain - around AUD$1800 each time, going again next Monday.

 

[CJEMNMAC]

Just changed my flights from SYD-HKG-JFK to ADL-HKG-JFK on CX in J

Both times I have had to call the call centre, the staff knew exactly what to do and how to do it. So far, a great experience and cost me $1746 AUD plus taxes on booking of $112.46 USD

Very decent value and I especially love no change fees outside 60 days from travel date

Gday

Is KUL- HKG- SYD on CX a valid routing for Mileage Plan for 30,000 miles or will it be priced as two separate redemptions?

Thanks!

Pele.

 

[annielee]

im pretty sure its 60k miles from KUL-xHKG-SYD according to the mileage plan.. but i mayb wrong..

hi

i am a newbie, so sorry if basic questions.

i am looking to travel europe in june, is now a good time to buy points with alaska and look to use them to go to hk (possibly even europe?) from per

or should i wait of bonus deal

thanks

 

[Limewood]

Bonus deal without a doubt they usually have 4 PA.

I hope you mean June 2017?, if not best of luck with that unless you book couple days out might find J/F.

Although to HK should be Ok (I returned las night J on CX using AA miles this time but have used AS a few times in past).

hi

or should i wait of bonus deal

thanks

Depends if you want for example 40% more points for the same cost.

You can buy at any time, but to maximise value, bonus points is the way to go

Anyone who's booked with their mieage plan points know if the availability that QF shows for CX exHKG to LHR is relatively the same amount of inventory that Alaskan has access to?

Hoping to try out CX F and give the new F lounge there a try. Prob have 1 or 2 nights in HK - a decade since I was there.

For me the BA site has matched 100% for availability

What dates are you looking at.. Happy to check BA for you if you don't have access

looking for May 1 2017 which wont be available via Alaskan for another month or so, but on QFF can see up to April 27 and all through april plenty of J and F availability ex HKG to LHR for CX

If you have time to see what BA is showing for CX out of HK to as far out as you can that'd be great. If it looks to be a decent overlap to what QFF shows then I can wait till Alaskan availability starts.

Just hoping no unannounced deval in the next month.
