Airline: VS
From: LHR
To: EWR
Fare Class booked in: O
One way

Thanks in advance

ETA: Apparently, other than VS (which gives 100%), no other airline gives more than 50%.

I figure I should go with Virgin, although it may still be worth it to just go with Delta, since I already have an account with them.

Thanks.
They tell me I never had an account with them so I'll open a new one. With all US mileage programs awarding points by price paid, I'm happy to move onto foreign mileage programs.

Airline: AA
From:LGA-CLT-LAX
Fare Class booked in:N
The flight cost like $230 so it looks like my best bet would be one of Cathay (etihad?) Or finnair?
I don't currently have an account with any other than AA.
Thanks

Chase transfers instantly to United. You have 24 hours to change or cancel without a fee.
There are ways around the $75 close-in booking fee.

When booking a round trip only one leg will get that close in fee? Correct? And when booking 2 tickets will I be able to do the trick to waive both close in fees! ? Thanks

What does this mean? 

However unless you have a United Club card or have elite status you’ll get hit with a $75 expedite/close-in fee:

I thought it doesn't help to have the cc to waive the fee? (or is the club card referring to something else then the cc? )

there are 2 united cc's the explorer cc which costs $95 a year and the united club cc which costs $450 a year only the latter waives the close-in fee
