Hi all,
I have 40k SkyTeam points that expire in August and so I thought I'd treat myself to a 4/5 day visit to Hong Kong for my birthday (mid-April). I'll redeem the SkyTeam points for the HKG-MEL leg, maybe with a 14h stopover in Taipei for fun, but haven't figured out the outbound leg.
As far as I can tell, some options are:
- Using 28k QFF miles + $60 taxes
- Purchasing a QFF flight (seen for $465) so I can earn 60SC on my way to Gold (I've reached Silver but that doesn't account for much)...
- Purchasing a one-way SG flight (seen for $396) and getting KrisFlyer miles
After years of relying on low-cost carriers in Europe, I'm still new to the points thing. Any ideas? Am I looking at this all wrong?
I'm still new to this forum, so please let me know if this question belongs elsewhere! Thanks in advance!
