Hello -
I am now needing to stop over in the Philippines more and more especially en route to China or USA. I have never contemplated PR as I have VA/QF status. PR flights are cheap, go exactly where i need them to go and as far as I can tell the business class product is pretty good value.
I don't have a star alliance account, and according to wheretocredit, PR flights can be credited to ANA only.
Should I do the following (?):
Credit to PR's FF program (seems a bit dodgy)
Credit to ANA and use that as my Star Alliance - especially as Virgin and ANA might get into bed together in the near future and I hold Platinum status.
Bottom line, how useful/good is the ANA program - I don't seem to see much written about it?
One more - can't see this on status match, but do you think ANA will status match to Virgin??
What do the other Philippine Airlines flyers do?
Regards
Belinda
