@Moshe a: ANA stands for "All Nippon Airways," a Japanese airline. Their frequent flier program (Mileage Club) has some low mileage redemption levels, especially North America to Israel at only 60k. The problem is, the only airline where they don't charge prohibitive fuel surcharges is US Airways, which has limited flights to Israel and almost as importantly, to European cities for a stopover. But if United were now available without fuel surcharges, one would then be able to fly RT from Newark to Israel non-stop for only 60k Membership Rewards or 50k Starpoints.

Whats “ANA”?

@Dan: I know this is way off-topic, but I discovered by fluke today that- at least for anyone booking today- ANA IS NOT charging a fuel surcharge for United flights, in addition to USAirways flights. The implications of this are great, because ANA has some very good mileage award redemption levels- espeically only 60k miles from North America to Israel. Before, one had to find availability on USAirways which is very limited, but if this United thing is a permanent change, that opens up many more options to get to Israel on *A for 60k miles- not only because of their non-stop from Newark, but also because of their many flights to many European cities that one can check out on the way to Israel. The agent wasn't sure if it was a glitch only for today or a permanent change, but it is certainly worth monitoring and so I wanted to pass it to you, Dan.

@EMS: You should be able to find flights with different numbers. 03/05 for example. @hunch: Correct, though on USAir for example you'll get 3x50 pounds each. $640 is a great price, happy MR'ing!

Time to head to ddf to find an MR companion!

Thanx for the quick reply.

It would be on all *A carriers, not just united – correct?

Also, is $640 considered a good price for attaining that status?

@creditor_ddf: This is correct. So CPM is closer to .03 not .027. Still a solid deal for a same day turn TCON. I booked two.

@Moishebatchy:
No.

@yossi18:
They’ll cancel your return trip.

@creditor_ddf:
Of course.

@hunch:
Well you’ll be *G for a long time.
How long? Possibly 3 years, 4 years, or for life
Free lounge access and 3×70 pound bags on United for you and all companions is pretty sweet!

By: hunch

hunch — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 00:42:54 +0000

So for $604.40 (4 round trips) i’ll be *G for life?

Dan I wanna open a cc. what’s the best one ?
seriously speaking: the thread on FT suggests that mileage earnings depend in flight #’s.
If both flights have the same flight #’s you will earn only 5130 VS if they have different flight #’s on US which earn 5628

I hate to sound like a n00b, but is there any way to originate from CLE/PIT without a separate positioning flight? And any way to fit LA in somehow?

By: Barry

Barry — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 21:26:05 +0000

I know that this does not fit Dan’s post bt I wanted to ask around anyway.

I am looking for a ticket from EWR to LAX for Pesach, any suggestions?
