Just wondering if anyone else has ended up with the same impression as I have: it's very, very difficult to use your miles for anything meaningful.
About a month ago, I asked for a redemption booking to Australia. Outward flight (around 20th March) OK, but no return flight available until 21st April (!!!).
The other day, I tried to obtain an upgrade from Y class to J class when checking in at Dhaka airport. Impossible, I was told, unless done at their city office in advance (at least six hours needed to verify balance and to deduct mileage......and this in the age of the internet).
