    status review 28 Feb

    Current status review date is listed for 28 Feb and I do plan to take an overnight flight on the evening of 28th that would otherwise requalify for VG - my only question is whether the VAFF boffins will say the flight doesn't qualify given that I don't disembark the flight until the 29th. I...

    SQ/NH codeshare

    SQ/VA and NH/VA codeshares are eligible flights to earn, but what of SQ/NH codeshares? eg. NH operated with SQ flight numbers - current setup would seem to exclude such flights, but appears to be anomaly with usual alliance setups (exclusion if non-alliance operated) - anyone flown such setups...

    posting original AA SCs vs devalued SCs

    Got caught in QFF devaluing AA SC earns when they "enhanced" post 30-4-17. Question is ticket was issued back at the end of 2016 (before any suggestion of "enhancement") so can I request the original AA SCs on the basis I booked per what the earning conditions were at the time? Some intra-US...

    checkin bags for same flight numbers on different tickets

    Have an existing ticket I need to connect to. 20/2: AA6093 PDX-LAX 1732-2013 connecting to AA28, a red-eye to JFK @ 2145. So happens that one of my options is to separate ticket AA6093 LAX-PDX to arrive 1700. Chances are it's the same plane turnaround so I just need to deplane at PDX and wait...

    Tried claiming for QFF pts on a recently taken CX flight booked as part of an international QF itinerary and got rejected with the note "ineligible class". Was pretty sure it was eligible. How can I confirm what booking class it was in fact allocated to? Tried looking up itinerary on CMT but...

    MU X class credit to QFF

    When did the QFF T&C airline earning table get updated? :confused: Just flew an MU segment booked in "X" class.

    Looking for some JAL award flights from PVG-CTS (or TYO, KIX, cough, NGO) - does anyone know what the booking classes are? E/F doesn't seem to have any details. Also, any chance of QFF waiving the 2,500 pts telephone assisted booking fee? Since their award booking website doesn't show up any options.
