[QUOTE=Miami Bob]are not accepted by american. I've been trying to learn about this rule by talking to supervisors at platinum cs. I cannot get a clear definite response. AA and LAN share routing on the same planes flying to santiago and santiago to ba.

I wanted to fly LAN ARG miami to ba and still get credits for both miles and platinum qualificaation for next year.[/QUOTE]Bob,

I don't see anything at this site stating LAN flight from US to BA is not eligible to earn miles on AAdvantage Program.

Guys:

Are you blind?

If you use miles on American, It Is Only 40,000, but of course that means low season, Which is the best time to go to be. A.

Jackson that spells Buenos Aries. Not be. A.

Not too Hot.
Low Season on the rest on the rest of the airlines is 50,000 +.

Repeat: Jackson that means Buenos Aries. Not be. A.

Your spell check sucks. Maybe your spell check will change that to ch.sks.

[QUOTE=Miami Bob]PUNTER--AA site does indicate that LAn miles on the usa to south american routes are not accepted by american.

I'm not sure I understand what you ’re asking, but this may answer your question.

Are you buying an AA or a LAN ticket?

[quote=American Airlines] American Airlines has codeshare agreements with select airlines, including all our oneworld® partners, and railways around the world. When traveling on an American Airlines codeshare flight operated by any of our partners, you can earn AAdvantage miles. Eligible miles earned on our codeshare flights will also count toward qualifying for AAdvantage Executive Platinum®, AAdvantage Platinum®, and AAdvantage Gold® status.

Through our codeshare agreements, American Airlines markets select partner flights as American Airlines flights. If you purchase seats on these flights, your ticket will show AA flight numbers. All or a portion of your journey may actually be operated by one of our codeshare partners. Therefore, please check-in with the airline who is actually operating the flight.

Why don't you just write [size=3][b]"BA"[/b][/size] or [size=3][b]"BsAs"[/b][/size]?

Thanks,

[QUOTE=Punter 127]United Airlines can 't be too bad, after all wasn't it United that canned Daddy Rulz?

I think this may be Daddy in the link below on one of his last trip to BA.

Is that really you Daddy? Sorry I just couldn 't help myself.[/QUOTE]I got canned for stealing panties out of suitcases, I wanted to make a parachute and figured some ginormous panties from fat American hogs would make good material.

Jimeto is without a doubt the airline god when it comes to using upgrades and finding cheap flights, Daddy never did much ticketing so my knowledge base is not broad. When it comes to ramp ops, and how to get what you want from airline employees Daddy is second to none.

Oh by the way, yes that was me in the commercial but I had to stand on the seat to get my head into the overhead bin.

Does that answer your question?[/QUOTE]Even on LAN ticket and LAN operated flight, they should still be eligible to earn AAdavantage miles and elite qualilfiying status.

[QUOTE=Sportsman]Even on LAN ticket and LAN operated flight, they should still be eligible to earn AAdavantage miles and elite qualilfiying status.[/QUOTE]I agree, but It looks like we're talking about co-shared flights, so as a PLATINUM member why wouldn't he want to book on AA and get his bonus miles?

[QUOTE=Miami Bob]Punter,

AA site does indicate that LAN miles on the USA to South American routes are not accepted by American.[/quote] Where did you see that? Could you provide a link, because I can't find it?

[quote]I wanted to fly LAN ARG Miami to BA and still get credits for both miles and platinum qualificaation for next year.[/QUOTE]I believe all you have to do is tell them you want AA miles and not LAN miles and provide your AA number when you check in.

You can have your miles flown on LAN credited to any oneworld Alliance airline.

[QUOTE=Sidney]They are reserving the front of coach for higher fares, plus exit rows and bulkhead![/QUOTE]The front section of UA coach is called "Economy Plus" and it has 3-5 extra inches of legroom. UA frequent flyers get them for free. Most airlines reserved the exit and bulkhead rows for the their frequent flyers also, just like UA.

Well I see that we all have a preference to what airline we choose, they all have flaws, I relize that, I work for UAL and I can tell you some horror storys about UAL, and yes I have run in to some bitches at the counter and tryed to charge me extra for for over the 50 lbs per bag, even when I told the ***** that I was a employee, some people are just assholes, you get them everywhere, and I luggage that didn't make the flight with me and when it finally arrived to BA and to my place it had been opened and things were missing, I complained and I got a check from UAL for the things that were stolen. No airline is perfect, but as a UAL ramp employee we try to make all the bags on the flights, some just don't make it because TSA is to slow to check bags and some don't care, the loader's the load the bags in the xray machines don't care what bags leave first, its just a snowball efect.

And in the case of the man that likes to get the exit row seat all the time.

Yes you have more leg roome but the seat does not recline as much as the other seats, the ual flight to BA is a senior flight that means that the flight atendents have over 20 years of service, so they are old cranky and don't take any shit from anyone, but thats life.

Hope you all have a great flight with what ever airlines you fly.

Willy[/QUOTE]I just flew on ual. I don't mind 'older' flight attendants.

Not taking shit from anyone?

How about a lousy cup of coffee when its out of their routine?

The staff was terrible! Bad attitude. Poor service!

I have prem exec with UAL and keep using it for that reason, but strongly considering moving to another if I can get in at premiere levels (some airlines used to offer that to get you to move)
