VA-TG interline via USDM points after the amalgamation w' AA

[get me outta here]

In September I am on the TG GUM special thanks to USDM. I have my 'free' Amex flight to be booked before end March as I intend to cancel the card early April.

What would be the advice as I'd like to interline the bag VA CBR to TH SYD. I could just use the freebie elsewhere but still wonder about issues as it's 2 separate PNRs.

Don't do it. It's too complex for the VA baggage systems to handle.

PS I get the strange feeling you might be our next resident Shayne..........

Que? Is that about - asking too many q's? I've only done the one booking btw.

Ok, I won't do it, thanks.

No, I'm referring to one of the more colourful characters on this site - http://www.australianfrequentflyer....ussion/oneworld-emerald-on-jetstar-41134.html

(Although it sounds like you don't make up stories out of thin air!)

Well I am gonna ask a dumb question as well (no gmoh, yours wasn't dumb ). I am just not getting this GUM as a destination thing? Is it meant to be a cheap way to access US? Why the rush of AFFers there this year? And how does this transition into the amex free flight gmoh?

I have tried reading other threads on the subject but it just hasn't hit me yet. Yeah I know, dumb as a box of hammers. Feel free to pm me if it is something that needs to spoken about in code.

BTW Smit, loved your gum TR.

Have a look at the USDM 'post successful bookings thread', look at the routings (i.e. stopovers) and then look at how many miles are required 'We' as in AFFers only really realised its potential last year.

Thanks Smit. USDM Oz to GUM and LF to stateside. I have tried dummy bookings on the LF site and (using option Smart Search - multiple airlines) almost always come up with "sold out". It might just be me...

Forget about LMs on this route - way too hard and only USDM allows you to cherry-pick ridiculous itineraries.
