Re: Rumour:[Denied by RR] Qantas to ban JQ SYD-MEL pax from F lounges & send to J lou
Thank you (and anat01 too) for all this excellent info.
From the looks of that be better to book USDM now just in case.
I've only used AS miles before, but when the 100% extra deal was on had to buy USDM and its more choice OW airlines and destinations.
AA has more restrictive rules than USDM.
there are a bunch of routing limitations (for example, you cannot fly from australia to europe with a connection in the Middle East), and generally speaking, for any proposed itinerary, the airlines in question must have a published fare for that route.
where USDM might let you add bits and pieces of flights here and there to get to where you want, with AA, if it's not a recognised routing/fare, you won't be getting it on miles. in a way it's kinda like the USDM 'most direct route' rule, although the AA one is enforced.
also so no stopovers with AA.
