Hi All,
I'm starting a Business Class Round World trip in June, but have used up all 6 sectors in the US, including one trans-continental flight.
I now need to tack on a short visit to Washington on the way home, so will add a few days to my stay in LAX and book a return flight to IAD, as LAX - IAD counts as trans-continental (and extra segments - if permited - would cost AUD$500 each).
btw: I am QF Platinum + Partner Gold - so dont really need more status, but would like lifetime Gold eventually.
So for my questions:
If I buy on aa.com, should I use my AA number and clock up some miles, or should I use my QFF number?
Does QF status mean anything for domestic AA lounges and seating preferences?
Will I be recognized as OneWorld Emerald on such domestic routes, when booked directly with AA?
Will I have lounge access for self booked AA domestic flights?
Should I use some of my upcomming QF flights in AUS to bump up my AA status?
If I don't get lounge access, maybe I should redeem a First Class reward flight - and get access that way?
Thanks very much,
Paul.
