    Better Strategy - Qantas or AA?

    Excellent information, thank you! I plan to be in the US for 5 or so years (this could extend longer depending on situation). To be honest, I haven't put a lot of thought into it and probably not taking advantage of the benefits properly. The benefits of WP I love are: - Seat selection (being...

    Better Strategy - Qantas or AA?

    Hi Guys, I moved to the US around 10 months ago and recently started a new role which will see my flying almost weekly (typically 3 hour flight). Being based out of New York it seems that most my flights are American Airlines. Is the better strategy to build up my AA status (I'm next to zero...

    Is there a way to request an upgrade for my NB brother as a WP? (International)

    Hi All, My NB brother is flying MLB --> JFK to visit me later in the year, and as a surprise I want to upgrade him to J as he has never flown it before. Is there a way to put in an upgrade request for him so that he goes onto the wait list as a WP priority instead of a NB? Thank you so much!

    New QF A380 reconfiguration!!!

    Most definitely a GoT's fan! April cannot come fast enough. The flight is quite full as I booked last minute - so there are only middle seats available upstairs which I'm not a fan of. I also can't really get my feet under the seat infront because my legs are too long, so usually I sit in the...

    New QF A380 reconfiguration!!!

    Hi Guys - After reading mixed reviews, I have decided to select seats 32G (LAX to MEL) and 32J (MEL to LAX). I'm 6'5 and haven't sat in a bulkhead seat before. In normal Y I find that my knees are pressed right into the back of the seat in front, so I figured I would try something different this...

    QF93 - Request Upgrade or ask at Gate?

    Just curious - roughly what % of the J cabin is paid vs. upgraded? Would also be interested to know the same for Y+.

    Anyway to earn status with AA Advantage but still use Qantas OW Emerald Benefits?

    My bad, I was referring to the possibility of entering a QFF number into an upcoming AA flight via the AA website.

    Anyway to earn status with AA Advantage but still use Qantas OW Emerald Benefits?

    Right, I thought that's what was being hinted at. And this can be done through the AA website?

    Anyway to earn status with AA Advantage but still use Qantas OW Emerald Benefits?

    If anyone is curious, I used my AA number and when I arrived at the admirals lounge, I just flashsd my Qantas card and was allowed right in. This was at LGA - Terminal B.

    Anyway to earn status with AA Advantage but still use Qantas OW Emerald Benefits?

    I've moved for the foreseeable future to the States and my role will involve a lot of travel domestically. I figured it's best to use the AA number to build up status over here. I'll most likely only be returning to AUS every other year. It's kind of funny using the seat selector with AA pleb...

    Flights booked through Corporate travel system not showing in AA Advantage account

    Re: Flights booked through Corporate travel system not showing in AA Advantage accoun Thanks snabbu. I was able to obtain my booking reference number and search for my flight using "find my flight on AA.com". Once I entered my passenger information, it let me edit the booking to enter my AA...

    Flights booked through Corporate travel system not showing in AA Advantage account

    Hi Guys, I've seemingly looked all over the place, but can't seem to find a way to add a flight that does not appear in your AA Advantage account. I booked a trip with AA through my corporate travel system, input my AA Advantage #, but it does not appear in my account. I note that it says the...

    MEL-LAX-NYC Questions

    Also, one thing I will mention, once you pass through ESTA immigration (which is usually very quick at the time QF93 arrives) and drop your bags off with the QF staff, you still need to clear security. This is normally the most stressful part for me as it's a single to two line queue that moves...

    Anyway to earn status with AA Advantage but still use Qantas OW Emerald Benefits?

    Great, that's all I need really. Once I find out my travel plans I can get on board with one of the AA Challenges and hopefully gain status pretty quickly.

    OWE benefits on QF ticketed and earning flights with AA Exec Plat

    I'm completely confused now. I also have all the SC's I need for QFF and from this point forward will be flying almost exlusively USA Domestic with AA. I want to start crediting all my flights to my no status AA Advantage account - will I be able to show my QF WP card to any of the OW domestic...

    Anyway to earn status with AA Advantage but still use Qantas OW Emerald Benefits?

    So in theory, on all my boarding passes it will have my AA Advantage number, but to get into the lounges I can just flash my QF WP card and that should be okay?
