Bali using Airmiles

[seekndestroy99]

I hold Axis Magnus and HDFC DCB. Considering the transfer partners in mind, please suggest how can I use Airmiles to book Bangalore-Denpasar flight, as well as domestic flights in Indonesia?
Help much appreciated!

how many points/miles do you have? what are your travel dates? i think for magnus thai airways or krisflyer would be the best

 

[seekndestroy99]

Dates are 25th July to 12th August.
Points are not enough for redemption right now, but I believe I'll accumulate enough in 2-3 months for Economy.
Where can I check points requirement for my travel dates for Thai Airways and Singapore Airlines?

as per this thai airways award chart link, return trip from mumbai would come around 35k per person + taxes.

Need help with Bali & Maldives flight booking

Hello Team, I've only used points to book flights to Singapore and Germany, and the process has always been simple with smartbuy. I'm looking into revenue booking, and round trip economy flights to Bali cost around 30-35K in April, and around 20-30K in May. Instead, I'm going to burn pts this...

I think BLR-DSP will be similar.

The miles mentioned here are to/from Thailand right? Like Thailand to Indonesia would be 35k miles

From what I understand from this chart, it's 37k miles for one-way from India to Indonesia right?

Best and for quick travel from blr-dps is singapore airlines via united mileage plan (one way from blr at 27.5k miles) for 27th july

Could not check thai aiways (royal orchid plus) since they need points to search for award travel

[Edit] Krisflyer is offering the same with 20k miles, so thats the best redemption option

Krisflyer very difficult to get "Saver Class" economy tickets, they get sold out very fast. Generally, you end up getting "Advantage" class miles which are 35,000 miles to Bali. I recently, booked my tickets to Bali business class for the entire family through Kris...cost 43,000 miles one way. Both sectors flatbed..real value for money.

43k per seat or in total?

One Seat One Way: I am trying to highlight the relative cost vs benefit analysis

43k One way Business, Economy Saver is 20k (but you really need to book in advance), Economy Advantage is 35K miles

For the date mentioned in the post saver is available, i checked before posting. So @seekndestroy99 you need to be quick with your bookings

Thai airways are not good with mileage requirements for award seats. Better to choose kris or united even if one needs to book thai airways

What's the cancellation and/or rescheduling policy on Economy award flight tickets in Krisflyer?
