Are the redemption values any good, or completely crazy?
So so
Def not as good as AS

So the question is if having the chauffeur, and lounge access in NY worth the booking difference.

Just an added benefit for me - not sitting on too much AS but have enough MR.

Paying to get in to lounge and for your own car service would probably cost half!

Nope. They're just small.

GRU and MNL have actual laws.

I think HKG has laws as well. But as you say, they limit it they don't ban it.

Booked EK F to MXP using JAL Miles. On EK website, it asks me to input my Chauffeur details. Does anyone have any experience with EK using JAL miles regarding this benefit, and potential lounge use?

It let you confirm chauffeur?

I think it errors for partner bookings.

Yes you're right, It does. Guess I just saw it and assumed it could be booked. Anything else noteworthy about EK F or J using JAL? Lounge issues? Everyone talks about AS, but JAL is a gem on JFK-MXP, considering no YQ
