I booked a flight going there on US Airways and returning on American Airlines.

Where can I credit my miles to?

Do I need an AA account or can I transfer directly to BA?

TIA

BUMP

I doubt anyone here ever pays to fly on AA. Just another reason to take Aadvantage of them.

While on hold with US Airways the automated machine mentioned that from now until sometime in March you earn 50% more Dividend miles for AA flights. Do we know anymore about this?

AA has the same promo for US flights.

Nice! Anything you need to sign up for? Or just entering your advantage account on a US flight enough?

Guess you do.

Think if I registered just now and flew this morning it would still apply?

My brother just bought a ticket a US Airways ticket but the plane will be a AA plane.

Will he earn points for *A (Aegean)?

I wouldn't think so, no.

We are traveling to Israel on US Airways on March 30th, the last day of its Star Alliance membership, returning after it joins OneWorld.

Can I credit the first leg to a Star Alliance member and the return to a OneWorld member? Or am I limited to crediting these flights to US or American only?

I'm wondering if there are any data points on this.
I am trying to get to Aegean Gold before March 30. I have a trip coming up that would get me there, but when I go to USAirways.com the cheapest flight BY FAR is one that is on AA metal. The site will let me put in my A3 number, but I don't know if that means that I will definitely get the miles.

If not on US metal, no A3 miles.

Oh well. I think that *Gold is probably worth the upcharge and the stopover, but it would have been nice to fly direct, cheaply, and earn it as well.

Yes.

How do I go about it? Leave FF account blank in reservation and then credit the miles retroactively? (I assume adding it to the reservation adds it automatically to all flights)

AJK · « **Reply #356 on:** February 11, 2014, 09:44:49 PM »

Add it prior to the first leg.

Change it prior to the second leg.

How come i found a First class ticket from Minneapolis to NYC for $700 while regular economy ticket was $1000 does this have to do with the merge?
