Just enough to lose your seats by the time it's in your JAL account.Call me junkie, but I'd rather transfer MR>EK (instantly) than SPG>JAL, even if the latter requires less miles for redemption.As you said, there are plenty of ways to MS more miles, but there's no way to get back an unavailable seat on your preferred date.
Definitely true. Though if one knows they plan to travel, they can speculatively transfer and not have to worry.
