I realise KF is zone based and as
@freakyfly pointed out in theory the miles required SW Pacific-EU when using *A partners would be 51,500 miles (Y). Would this this mean if:
- If you could find rewards AU-UK, say TG (through flight) or TG and another *A carrier would KF treat this as SW Pacific-EU. In Y this requires less miles than if on KF saver and if in J around 1500 more miles as SQ AU-EU/UK saver is 116,000 miles or if my thinking is correct 117,500 miles using *A carriers based off the mileage chart, or
- Would it be charged as SW Pacific-SEA2 and SEA2-Europe which would be around 77,500 miles in Y and 166,000 miles in J, if my math is correct.
I am only asking as I generally use KF miles for SQ J redemptions. On the basis KF considers SW Pacific-EU on a single or multiple carriers (point 1 above) the option of using TG AU-EU/UK direct or to BKK and then any other *A carrier to EU/UK (assuming availability is there) at 117,500 miles my search options may have just widened. Sure TG may not be as good as SQ but in my books a 2nd class J vs 1st class Y wins hands down every time. I may now have to go and look at the milage charts for F comparisons
