First flight for PPS Qualification this year

[YK@HKG]

Yes. I have just booked a return trip on MI to SBY for the weekend as the first flight for my possibly long and painful effort for PPS Qualification.

Cost: S$1,193 for a mere 2.5 sectors

I also just enrolled in LH M&M to take advantage of double-dipping. I am still worried that the check-in agent will not do it for me since I don't really have an official M&M card at the moment

That doesn't seem like a particularly high price per PPS sector.

MI flight doesn't earn miles on LH M&M. Am I wrong?
AFAIK, by flying MI, there is no double dipping possibility.

Ahh???? I have checked back...and indeed...it's not possible
I guess I have to stick with crediting both miles and sectors to KF

That's the drawback of flying MI. Well, I am not that fond of their C class. Would rather take SQ C metal instead. A345 to CGK is great. But I know it's more expensive $$$-wise.

What is the cheapest ticket now in terms of lowest price per PPS sector?

It should be SIN-SOLO, S$793 for 2.5 sectors.

I know...I will be taking either SQ C or F for the trip back to CGK next month (CNY period). Taking SQ C to CGK is not necessarily more expensive....I think it's 100 bucks cheaper than the SBY one.

SOLO? Where is it?

Solo City (SOC) is in Central Java, Indonesia. Home of traditional batik.

Just think of it this way, without Solo (or Central Java) there will be no Batik Sarong Kebaya for the Singapore Girls

Double Dipping? Does this mean we can credit the miles to both Krisflyer and LH M&M in the same flight? Is this possible?

No, double dipping means that you can credit the RDM's (Redeemable miles) to Lufthansa, and the PPS Sectors and (PPS miles - which are non redeemable) to Krisflyer. As those RDM's on LH are also EQM's (Elite qualifying miles) - you can qualify for status on Both, but you only get miles for redeeming for free flights/upgrading on one (in this case, LH).

You cannot however, credit MI flights to LH. They are not partners. Both the RDM's and EQM's for MI flights have to go into Krisflyer

That is definitely a drawback of MI, that you can't credit credit the miles to anywhere else other than KF. I wish they would allow them to join *A, even as a regional partner or whatever it's called.

MI fly to some great destinations.

Thanks for the explanation. So LH is doing the same thing as QF.
