Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

If I purchase an airline ticket with a Sapphire, and then downgrade that card (say, to a Freedom) before I fly, will I still get all the trip protection as I had the card when I booked, or do I forfeit the benefits?

Can you downgrade co-branded Chase cards (BA, Marriott, United, etc.) to Freedom?

Norwegian air, and iinm turkish

Are you sure about Norwegian Air? I am under the impression that they are a budget airline and even the first bag isn't free if you buy the cheapest fare.

It looks like a flex fare and up gives you 2 bags while the cheapest one gives you zero https://www.norwegian.com/en/travel-info/baggage/checked-baggage/
It's interesting that yours were different weight limits though.

Best overall option is probably to sell the miles and book revenue

Let's say not. Iberia seems to be the only reasonable option.

Booking revenue tickets on BA.  I don't have a Chase BA card and have a token amount of Avios from Iberia from some DDMS post.  Should I put my AA FF# on the reservation?

I am the only one in my family of 6 with a FF# in One World.  Can I claim their miles?

Can I create accounts for them after booking and apply the miles earned later?

yes. Anytime before you fly, you can add their FF #. I think untill you complete travel, but do it before you leave, so you dont forget.

Some FF programs allow you to credit flights from even before the FF account was opened.
