Harvesting and Warehousing FF Points From a Biz Class ATW

[Gold60]

I am doing a BIZ Class ATW next year. I will be flying Air Canada, Lufthansa Swiss and Thai.

If my future travels will be largely focused on Thailand in years to come - just wondering how, and to where, I should harvest then warehouse any FF points I get from my little jaunt please?

Should I, for example, look at trying to store them in Virgin Australia and then (if I can) use then to fly Thai Airways in Biz or P/Econ (if available), or perhaps store them in VA, but then transfer them to SQ and then get to BKK via SIN ?

Any ideas would be most appreciated as always.............

You might put them somewhere like Avianca Lifemiles. You can redeem through there for flights on Thai. The huge advantage with Lifemiles is that you only need 40% of the base miles to redeem an award and you can top up with cash for the balance.

A full return business class via lifemiles (buying all the miles outright from scratch) is around AUD1700 including taxes, so if you have accrued your base 40% (32,000 miles) that brings the additional cash component to around $1000.

Full earning details here and looks like your lufthansa flights will earn at least 175% of actual miles flown: https://www.lifemiles.com/eng/use/par/parairparall.aspx
