    Kyrgyzstan ! Has anyone been?

    Its visa free for Australians to Kyrgyzstan! There is great availability into Ashgabat, but Australians need to prearrange visas for Turkmenistan. So even though i wouldnt get the final connecting flight to Ashgabat, would they ask to see my visa for Turkmenistan at check in in SIN/BKK/wherever...

    I found DPS to Bishkek for a mere 20,000 points ! (at $15 per 1000 it works out to be only $300). Thats including SQ DPS - SIN, SQ SIN-FRA on a380!!!!! Yes this is all in J... I think Kyrgyzstan is classed as a North Asian country?

Almost better off doing a bit of re-routing and making it return! Im the same with the DMZ tour, i went to Seoul...

    RAR - ICN with points in J, cheaper to Japan?

    It is just a one way flight, which I think would work, providing a short check just to ICN... What are everyone's thoughts on a UA 3 month status match for my travel date, do you think it would be beneficial for flight changes etc?

    I have flown AK/D7/TZ dozens of times, especially intra-Asia, and have never EVER had a problem with them, despite paying rock bottom prices. (TZ SYD-SIN return for $150 opening special). I was upgraded to Scoot STREEEEETCH, with around 36" of legroom, and also received an OptionTown upgrade on...

    First time burning some points

    Sounds like a mega trip! For SQ, you'd want to snag a 773 or a380 A/C, for a better J product compared to the a330 SQ J product (identical to the new VA a330 coast to coast J product). Keep in mind the VA PER-HKT product is measly domestic 737 J product.... So many options!
