Hi All,
I am new to the FF site and appreciate the good information availble through the posts that I have read.
Can some of the experienced travellers help me with my decision of FF porgram.
I will do a return trip from CNS to Nairobi every 8 weeks for at least the next 12 months.
My employer books us :
CNS-BNE Discout Y QF
BNE-DXB Economy Emirates
DXB - NBO Economy Emirates
The miles for economy are :
Blue Silver Gold
9649 12064 14474
You qualify for Silver after 25000 miles and Gold after 50000miles.
As far as I can see you can use your skywards miles on United, JAL, Delta Continental and SAA. The redemption rates for United are the same as for their plan SAA and JAL have pretty ordinary redemption rates.
My wife and I would like to go Europe next year and New York or Central America the year after. I can exchange my return ticket home for travel up to value of the ticket. So I would book direct ex NBO to Lon or NYK
With Emirates BNE London would be 95000 miles.
United BNE NYK 60000
Am I calculating this correctly.
Give the travel I would also like access to lounges, however Emirates does not appear to have any lounges other than Dubai and Colombo. Is this right.
Your feedback on the best way to accumulate FF and privileges would be appreciated.
