Currently BA Silver and will requalify, but looking at chasing OW Emerald via Finnair Plus instead. I’ve got a D class RTW ticket issued by BA starting in April. Plan is to credit to Finnair Plus, but I’m holding off officially joining for timing reasons around the last long...

I moved my earning to Malaysia Airlines Enrich since I’m Asia based and mostly fly economy. Goal was oneworld Sapphire. So far I’ve done 5 flights. Only 1 credited. The other 4 are missing, including 2 MH operated flights. Filed missing claims over a month ago. Still nothing....

My wife and I fly US–UK 3–4 times a year. Usually business one way, economy back. For the last six years that’s comfortably kept us at Silver without trying too hard. We’re not mileage runners, just steady transatlantic customers who occasionally splurge. With the move to...

Kind of surprised that on the new 787s, Alaska doesn’t have a real Premium Economy cabin like AA, BA, and other oneworld partners do. Feels like a miss, especially for long-haul. Main Cabin Extra style seating just isn’t the same as proper Premium Economy with a wider seat and...

Saw this and honestly kind of wild if it keeps working. The idea that you can grab OW Sapphire just by getting the Qatar Club Infinite card feels like a loophole that shouldn’t exist. $499 AF, big Avios bonus that basically offsets it, and suddenly you’re walking into AA...

Flying out of Hong Kong on Cathay in a few days. I have oneworld Emerald, which normally gets me plus one guest into the lounge. The problem is I’m traveling with my partner and our 2 year old, and the child now counts as a guest. On the outbound we tried our luck and were...

I’ve got about 51,400 Royal Air Maroc miles expiring soon. It’s enough for a round trip JFK to Casablanca, but I’ve already been and was hoping to go somewhere else. I’m trying to use the cash and miles option, but the RAM website is basically unusable. Keeps throwing errors no...

Booked a Finnair business class reward seat from LHR using my BA Avios, but can’t figure out what “ticket type” it’s considered. The booking shows class U, includes a free checked bag, and I could pick seats right away (I’m only OW Ruby). Does anyone know if business award seats...

Quick question wrapped in a bit of venting. I hit Qatar Privilege Club Gold in Jan 2025 and already have enough miles to retain it for 2026. With a possible move to Hong Kong coming up, I figured I’d start building status with Cathay while still relying on my guaranteed Qatar...

Flying Cathay Pacific out of Hong Kong T1 with two guests, one adult and one 6 year old. I’m Qantas Gold, so oneworld Sapphire. Trying to figure out lounge access rules here. Qantas doesn’t count a child as a guest, but not sure how that works when flying Cathay instead of...

Booked a oneworld RTW ticket through JAL that includes Alaska and American segments for the US portion. After purchase, JAL only sent me their own PNR. That one works on JAL’s site, but doesn’t pull up anything on Alaska or AA. Is there a way to see the Alaska and American PNRs...

My husband and I are both oneworld Sapphire through Qatar, and we’re flying Finnair next month on a domestic flight. Trying to make sure we understand the baggage rules. The oneworld site says that on purely domestic itineraries using the piece system, Sapphire gets one checked...

Flying LHR to ORD next August and both options are the same price. One is American on the 787-9 with the newer seats. The other is British Airways on the 787-10. I’ll be in economy either way. Part of me wants AA just for the newer hard product. But I’ve never flown BA before...

Have a trip coming up out of DFW to Oregon on Alaska. I’m a Summit card holder with oneworld Gold and Sapphire status, and the ticket is first class booked with points. I know I can use the Alaska lounge in Seattle since I’ve got lounge passes from the card. What I can’t figure...

Had almost the exact same thing happen. I’m JAL Diamond with CX Green, and I usually book with my CX number for the miles, then show my JAL status at check in for the oneworld Emerald perks. Always worked fine. But on a CX flight last month, the agent said they couldn’t give me...

Got sapphire with the RJ status match and it shows correctly in my account. But when I checked in with Iberia in BCN, they still charged me 90€ for my bag. Call center couldn’t fix it and there was nobody at the counter who could do an override. Just had to pay it. Anyone had...

Got a Finnair HEL to DFW flight coming up, booked in economy through AA. Checked upgrade options and both airlines say no, even though Finnair’s own site shows around 10 premium economy seats open. Finnair told me I have to upgrade through AA since the ticket was issued by them....

I’m based in Madrid and signed up for the Iberia Icon card, so I’ve been playing the Iberia Plus game for a while. The perks feel so tight compared to American. With Ruby on AA I could grab those nice seats behind PE for free at 24 hours. Now I’m Iberia Oro, which is Sapphire,...

I’ve got an int’l connection at HND on separate tickets. Arriving in JAL First, but my onward options are two backup economy awards on ANA and JAL (Aeroplan and Alaska). I’ll probably take the ANA one since it’s easier to cancel the Alaska/JAL booking. I’d still like to use the...

Booked Qatar tickets for the family and added my AA number, I’m Exec Plat, so I’ll be Oneworld Emerald for the trip. We’ve got a 6 hour layover in DOH on the way to Jeddah, and OWE lets me bring two guests… but we’re a group of four. Anyone know if there’s a way to pay for one...

I’m Alaska Gold / OW Sapphire and flying SEA DFW MEX soon. I know Mexico usually doesn’t count as “real” international for lounge access, but I once got into the AA lounge in YYZ on a SEA flight, so now I’m wondering if there’s any chance. Anyone had luck getting into Flagship...

Flying BKK to ORD on Cathay with my wife, same booking. The app shows I get 2 checked bags but she only gets 1. I’m AA Platinum Pro, so OW Emerald. Just want to make sure the app isn’t messing up, because she’s trying to haul a mountain of Thai snacks home. Anyone know if we...

I’ve got Lifetime Gold with American and will be flying JAL soon on an economy O fare. My wife and kids are on a separate booking. Does AA Lifetime Gold translate to oneworld Ruby for this flight? And if so, what actual benefits should I expect on JAL?

Flying Quito to Madrid on Iberia and wondering about the baggage rules. I’m Gold with Qatar (so oneworld Sapphire), but my ticket doesn’t include any checked bags. Do Sapphire benefits give you one free checked bag even if your fare comes with zero, or is it just an extra bag on...
