With regards to fone's experience above, it might really be a PITA if we have to add A3 to the FFP for every booking just to get the *G benefits. Let's try it out to other *A and see how it goes....
Had to be very firm about what went where despite their best protestations (you have to know what to ask for and then again, you can't see the the screen so there's always that minute possibility of something gone awry...)

Guys i will be on TG metal from SG to Frankfurt and the booking class on Y will be either V/W. A3 does not allow any mileage on these two classes and inside KF accural chart for *A partners it states under TG Economy: 100% - G, V, W (excludes international flights).
First Question: From what i see so far, i will earn 0% mileage on this TG metal V/W class when i input my KF#. Right?
Second Question: I am a *G member under A3, can i just put A3 on my BP and then since no mileage gain in A3, i fill a retrospective claim with ROP which earns 25% of miles if not mistaken for V/W class? Alternatively if i can't, can i request FQTV with ROP and FQTS with A3 at the check-in counter to gain status and get miles credit for ROP?
Thanks in advance for all the help from the senior bros in sqtalk...

V & W accrual is possible on domestic flights only...visit my blog

Any thoughts or recommendation let me know...

Any thoughts or recommendation let me know...
I did some search the Q fare is $973.00 + $804.70 = 1,777.70 SGD
The C class promo end 31-Dec but can travel until 31-Mar. Price to FRA is $2,957.00 + tax ($957.70)
If you can make it within December, I will just grab the Q fare with extra $350 and get the full miles.
I think TG service is better than LH. I only flew LH on SIN-CGK sector so cannot comment on long haul. But I heard a friend of my friend said even LH biz class sucks.visit my blog

Hi
Am currently about 800 miles short of the 20k required for Gold status with Aegean and have a trip to Phuket planned for later this year. Just wanted to ask if it is considered a qualifying Star Alliance flight if it is operated by Silkair. The first leg has an SQ flight number while the second leg has an MI one although both are operated by Silkair.
Thanks in advance for your help.

This month was the 35th month out of the 36 months for renewal of gold status. Just completed a flight and the miles were credited. Previously flew the required 20,000 miles in 2011 and got a card that showed expiry as 12/2014.
I understand that one flight every 36 months must be credited to maintain the Gold status.
My question is, the current card I am holding shows expiry as 12/2014. Should I report a lost card so that the new card will show 12/2015 or do they automatically send a card towards the end of this year?

Noob question. Trying to build status in Star Alliance. I have memberships in A3 and AC FFP's, trying to figure out where I should credit my upcoming Asia trip? By my calculations I should have enough out of this trip to get *S on A3. I'm thinking that I should work towards "easy gold" with A3 first since AC wants 25k just to get to *S. Opinions?

Assuming you are based in Canada and/or flies AC frequently:
Do you value status more than ease of usage of miles? I'm not sure what it is like to redeem miles on AC but I just assume that it is easier to do so with "home" advantage.
This is from my experience with A3 and SQ(Home ground) as I mostly travel on SQ, so it is easier to redeem KF miles on SQ.
