hi i booked BNE-PVG-MEL J class on QF codeshare with MU. agent could not add my AA # when checking in and said there was no agreement with AA. Anyone know if the QF codeshare with MU is eligible for AA points ? thanks !

thanks Fred. So i have quite a cache of AA points which i could use domestically or on CX/QF. think there is any benefit switching to QF or SIA ?

thanks V8. main thing is using my points, as i am struggling a bit to use my AA points from AU. as has been pointed out, QF may/do find award flights not publicly available for Platinum and PLat1 and the ability to upgrade with points would be a definite advantage. I believe i would do enough...

Sorry and thanks for the input. I did go AWOL ! few hours after my initial post i ruptured my Achilles. Good news is i will be much more responsive to this thread as i am grounded for at least 4 weeks :-) So on the 2MM, assume you mean million miller balance ? I am at 2.65M, so lifetime...

Wondering if the combined wisdom of the forum can help me figure out whether moving to QFF is good idea. I've been with AA for close to 10 yrs and have lifetime gold status. I'm based in Melbourne and do 8 - 10 long haul trips per year. Mainly to Singapore, Tokyo and Shanghai/HK. I also do a...

anyone have any insight as to whats happening with MEL - SYD award avails ? On AA (i logged in and i'm exec plat) there used to be plenty of availability (outside peak) for economy, but now all i'm seeing is J class. If i log into QF, there's the usual amount of economy seats......pretty much...

definitely fast and cheap :-)

decided to suck it up and clock 4 flights in Feb between LAX and JFK. Has anyone done this ? what would be the most efficient itinerary ? much obliged in advance

thanks. guess it was going to be enforced eventually. any idea if booking AA codeshare for AU flights is possible ?

i have recently qualified for EP with over 100k qualifying points but have been told by AA customer service that i must fly 4 AA or US airways segments before they will bump me from platinum to exec plat. anyone seen this before ? i know it's always been in the T&C's but in 10 years this is the...

Hi, wondering if i can tap the wisdom of this forum. I recently moved to Sing from HK and also just hit 2million lifetime miles with AA. Being in Singapore i think it makes sense to move to SQ and get some status with a Star Alliance carrier. But AA redemption is by far better than most and can...

I'm having awful trouble paying the taxes on a AA award (Syd-Mel). I call the AA ofice in the US and they have no problem taking my booking, but i can't finalise as they can't accept a Australian Amex. Anyone know of a work around for this? thanks in advance

yep...found the right person and it worked. Also learned something when using your credi card over the ph. The system would not accept the australian address, untill she placed an "AU" in the state field which normally only accepts 2 character USA states, such as NY, MA etc have my 2 economy...

they said the "system" would not allow them to e ticket

Just got off the phone with AA, had no touble reserving my tickets syd - per return. But they can't ticket them as the system will not allow them to book them as a e-ticket and they won't send paper tickets to australia. My fall back is sending the tickets to our USA office, but really don't...
