Re: USAirways bonusprogram (del 3)
Håper og tror at dette stemmer, og regner med at CX har "published fares" til store deler av rutenettet sitt fra LHR.
Jeg leste det samme på Flyertalk, og tenkte at det gjorde AAdvantage mye mindre attraktivt. Men etter litt søking fant jeg dette innlegget: http://milevalue.com/the-five-cardinal-rules-of-american-airlines-awards/Mener å ha lest på lucky's blog at det må eksistere en fare for at det skal kunne bookes en award. Dvs feks PVG HKG LHR OSL med cx og ba ville ikke gått, da det ikke fins en fare med cx fra PVG til OSL.
Noen som kjenner mer til dette?
3. The airline that operates the flight that connects the two regions must have a published fare for your origin and destination city pair.
This is a rule that trips up a lot of otherwise awesome awards. It’s frustrating, and it’s not clear why the rule exists, but you have to know it.
Example: You want to fly MEL-LAX-JFK-BWI with a two month stopover at LAX and will fly on Qantas from MEL-LAX. That means Qantas–the region connecting carrier–has to have a published fare from MEL-BWI for the stopover to be valid and to avoid this being priced as two awards.
How do you figure out if there is a published fare between a city pair? I check on Expert Flyer. Here’s how. Another free, roughly accurate, way is to see if you can book a ticket between the city pair on the operating airline’s website or kayak.
Or you can just see if you can have it price as one award over the phone. If you can, you have a legal routing and stopover.
