Krisflyer - Swiss/Turkish

[Sub]

Anyone who's had luck redeeming Krisflyer miles for flights on Swiss/Turkish airways of late? Not finding much award availability.

Route and Cabin?

Europe. Was eyeing BOM-CDG/AMS for July. But can't really find anything... Found some through Asiamiles, but that's thro' BA. So charges are a dampener. Ideally J, but Y fine too... Will keep some miles for a later trip to NRT

EU on SQ Partner will have significant YQ too. Your points are with SQ?

There is quite a bit of Saver availability on LX J showing up on SQ, to CDG.

Yea, transferred to SQ recently (for the gold)... Was moving out from Prestige and not too sure about Axis... I have some more left, but have been a fan of Asiamiles in the past. YQ on Turkish is more reasonable than Swiss/Lufthansa indeed.

What's yq ?

Fuel Surcharge. SQ & TK Pass on Fuel Surcharge on to Flyer when booking Partner Airlines using their Miles.

Its not low availability. Its about how and when the award seats open up. Each airline operates differently in terms of opening Award seats to Partner Programs.

With LH & LX, if you are patient enough, you can even get 5-6 Business Class Award seats on the same flight.

Is their a way to get classic plus or above with turkish airlines without actually flying? So that we can pay taxes with miles as well.
