A friend has 38,000 krisflyer miles with 19,000 expiring in Sep 06 and the other 19,000 expiring Sep 07. Not likely to fly *alliance in the near future to accumulate more miles as he is a once a year traveller to Greece and Gulf Air beats Singapore and Thai by around $400 in airfare.
How to best use these points? Is a return SYD-WLG award 25,000 krisflyer miles? How much would taxes and charges be for this award booking? Can he book now for travel next February? Would the booking be with Air NZ? Is this quite easy to book online as I have never tried to redeem award for my 700+ krisflyer miles.
What happens with remaining miles? Do they just expire? Can they be used for any other award flights? I had a look at Krisflyer website and to buy additional miles costs US$40 per 1,000 miles which is a little too expensive.
