MH Enrich "Live the Dream" Redemptions Offer

Re: Enrich is giving a 50% discount on flight redemptions

Did a dummy booking on MH in J and it seems that the one-way YQ is around ~$330 (for SYD-KUL-LHR) then add about $80 in additional taxes. What I can't quite comprehend is why I can't book F from SYD (and thus the search engine only lets me book J, but ITA shows there is at least availability on MH F from KUL-LHR).

F to/fro SYD ceases from March 2013 or thereabouts.
That's when the 747 is withdrawn.
And the A380 is not coming to SYD.
For now anyway.
MH is pretty fluid.

Hopefully their new A330 J is not too bad. If its comparable to their 772 or 747 J I will be happy.

I need to have a good look at this tonite!!!!

Anyone else find the MH website for Enrich bookings slow and flaky?:evil:

Maybe not. But for Business or First, probably more so...

An AAdvantage award SYD-DXB-LHR on QF in First is 80k + $83.60 USD.
A Malaysia Airlines Enrich award SYD-KUL-LHR in First is 63.95k + ??? in First oneway. e.g. 01Mar2013. Taxes on the paid fare are circa 400 AUD.

The QANTAS SYD-DXB-LHR FASA is 192k + $648.50. Earns 360 SCs.

QF F Class on A380 all the way for teh 80k points via AA as you quote sounds the way to go

After March MH drop the F Service from SYD, so the best you could do is the newer A333 SYD/KUL and then A380 from there to LHR in F

Would need to book separate sectors as Enrich dont allow mixed booking classes in T&C's

By The way has anyone flown MH A380 in F yet?

Re: Enrich is giving a 50% discount on flight redemptions

Problem with qf a380 F is the availability!

 

[infinity]

Agreed. Availability is tough. How many QF points for F one way as a WP u could always request a classic seat
I gather no WP requests if u want to use AA points

Can I book a MH award flight using my points for a 3rd party ( not flying with them)?

Yes you can.

But changing the ticket dates can be a huge hassle as I believe it cannot be done online or through the phone and you have to front up to their office.

i have changed (on Phone) tickets for departure date changes for me and my 2 girls with no problems, just need to pay the admin fee which as about $30. very reasonable

I did A330 J last month, KUL-MEL< and it is a standard angled lie flat product, comparable to, for those familiar with QF, Skybed Mk I. If people are not happy with this product on a 7hr flight for 20,000 pts plus taxes (ie less than what most airlines charge for economy) I suggest they give up on frequent flyer programs altogether.

Re: Enrich is giving a 50% discount on flight redemptions

Ok sounds reasonable. What if its 68000 miles for syd to kul return in J? On this A330.

 

[infinity]

With the current discount it is I think 40k plus taxes Syd Kul return

Great fair when u choose the day flights!!

 

[k3nnis]

I meant after the discount with the normal redemption rates is it still a good deal? Assuming going on the A330 J.

Concur about A333 j new config

 

[k_sheep]

Hmm logged into my enrich account, I have .... 4k points. May be a little short there!

 

[k3nnis]

I have 3000 in my enrich account lol but have quite a few Amex MR points.

 

[mbflyer]

I got the email from MAS and had a look and when I saw the search results thought it too good to be true - 30k points in J MEL-LAX one-way, which is what I need to book. In fact, I still think that is to good to be true...!

Re: Enrich is giving a 50% discount on flight redemptions

Apply for a CC which gives you MR points would do it, not "buying" as such but the same outcome! Happy to refer anyone, e.g. you can get PLat Reserve, 40K points AND a flight to NZ for $395 annual fee.

Hmm also includes priority pass. Tempting!

I didn't see any mention of the 40k points .... is that what the referral is for?

Re: Enrich is giving a 50% discount on flight redemptions

keep in mind the bonus points takes a long time to come through, might miss this offer of 50% discount. But if you are after MR points in general then ignore me.

Also the priority pass i think is 2 entries? its the lower level one.

It is, but it takes about 32-33 hours minimum. So unless you really like flying, you might pass on that route despite the value.
