Redemption to USA - Possible?

[shadrach]

Hi all,

I'd love to know if it's possible to redeem for flights to USA (preferably New York). In my search I came across the thread about the difficulty getting to L.A. and subsequent link showing MAS no longer fly there

A couple of dummy enrich bookings say there are no flights. However their online map shows that they do code-share to NY via London, Paris etc.

So does anyone know if it's possible to redeem to USA from Aus - e.g. Bris to NY perhaps?

You can get to New York but you'll have to call their service centre and book a OneWorld partner award. You'll have the choice of CX, JL, AA or QF. They stopped flying to LAX very recently.

Thanks MH_fan.

Sorry about the slow reply

HI was looking into this and thought that Mh had stopped flying to lax , but you can still book purchased flights but not award ones via NRT (Mh website). A bit strange that they offer the fare paying ones and don't allow direct online redemption without calling the call centre and using it on one world award flights.. Any thoughts ?

AA award flights from Australia to USA via Asia actually require TWO separate awards.

So pick a favorite spot in Asia to make the transition and away you go.
If that favorite spot is KUL then your first flight (to NRT/HKG would be the choices) can easily be on MH.

OTOH the paid for flights in the Y cabin are very inexpensive at the moment starting in KUL. MH to LHR/CDG connecting to AA/BA into the states.

Happy wandering

Fred
