Hi everyone
I've been accumulating miles mostly through spends/trips and I now have about 250k KF miles. Some miles will start to expire from May onwards progressively every month.
So we have decided maybe it's time to utilise the miles. A quick check seem to indicate that the miles have gone up a fair bit since we made our last 2 redemption (Biz class tickets) and most trips we search have both legs on wait list as oppose to our previous redemptions where we had at least 1 leg confirmed.
There's 2 adults and 1 toddler. We thought of redeeming tokyo for 2017 but was wondering if it's a good use of miles for a flight journey of 8 hours. I think at the back of our head we thought it might be good to use it for a location that is further out with travel time of say 10 hours or more? Understandably many destinations are still beyond our miles reach as we did think of London but the miles ask was too high and it's unlikely I would hit 400k+ miles by May before the miles starts expiring in small blocks.
What are your thoughts on this if you were in my situation?
Also would it make sense for me to buy a Economy ticket then use my miles to upgrade to Biz or just do full Biz upgade with the miles?
thoughts and views appreciated!
