    Best airline for status on Star Alliance

    I would really like Star Alliance status. I want an airline that lets me accrue status points etc even when I fly a partner airline.

    Best airline for status on Star Alliance

    I'm having to travel a lot on Star Alliance flights (Air NZ, Singapore Airways, ANA), in premium economy normally. I would really like to earn status if possible (I have status with Qantas but these flights are being booked for me and I don't have any choice in the airlines). I put the first...

    Status Extension question

    I did just get the email confirmation! 1616648525 Yes, I just got the email confirmation - but sometimes it never comes. It is always worth it to just do the screen shot and email it to myself.

    Status Extension question

    Thank you! Fantastic. I did a print screen as evidence that I registered ... I don't always trust their systems!

    Status Extension question

    Hi, I have done a few searches, and looked through the last 10 pages of the forum, and haven't found an answer ... I hope it hasn't been answered a dozen times already! I need to book a flight asap to keep my status for the next year (my status expires on 31 March). My question is: can I book...

    Qantas PE to Honolulu?

    This is for a set of critical meetings, so thanks for the warning re: JQ! Comfort seat - what is that?! An open seat next to me? I would love that as my issue is not leg room but shoulder space. How much does it usually cost? Thanks!

    Qantas PE to Honolulu?

    I have to fly PE or higher on flights of 4 hours or more due to a medical condition. I’m going to Honolulu in March and would love to take Qantas, or if not, then a one world airline. But I want to avoid business because I have to pay out of pocket on anything more than $3k. I’m not looking for...

    Urgent help needed! Rescheduling or cancelling AA flight booked with Qantas points

    Thank you! I definitely can reschedule it online. I just have to confirm the dates tomorrow. Hopefully there will be seat availability on the dates that I need -- otherwise I will just have to cancel. But it's good to know that I can call to cancel and hopefully won't be charged an...

    Urgent help needed! Rescheduling or cancelling AA flight booked with Qantas points

    Hi all, you helped me out a few months ago when I asked how to book a domestic US flight on AA with my Qantas points. Well, now I urgently have to change that flight to a completely different date! Do you know how I go about this? And is it better to cancel the original flight and book a new...

    International Upgrades - the pecking order

    FWIW, I get upgraded 75% of the time (or perhaps more) when I travel Qantas internationally (and request an upgrade - have only gotten an operational upgrade once). What counts in my favour? I travel alone, and I always have a PE ticket. I'm normally only Gold though. My flights are either...

    Using Qantas points on American Airlines domestic flights

    I'd like to fly from Washington DC (DCA or IAD if necessary) to Tampa (TPA or SRQ) in July, on AA, using my Qantas points. Is this even possible? I've done some research and and all I can see is that I am supposed to book on the Qantas website, but when I punch in DCA or IAD as the departure...

    HELP! Short by 10 SC to make Platinum!

    No, unfortunately, as I got that when I hit 1000 SC. But, I think I can do a short trip in the US on AA and just make sure it is in the one of the earning discount economy award categories.

    HELP! Short by 10 SC to make Platinum!

    Hmm, when I go to the SC calculator, it shows that they earn 10 SC under "discount economy." Anyone know of anything different?

    HELP! Short by 10 SC to make Platinum!

    Thanks. I'm glad to hear the date won't disqualify me. I could possibly do a short trip while I am overseas as a status run. Economy flights on American Airlines should count, right?
