Missed that, but for a trip to Beijing, might be worth missing out on miles. I wonder if one could change fare class without the price going way up. I did that with my trip to Amsterdam, and my cost only went up by $40 to earn in a better fare class.

With many of AS partners bumping from a 0-50-100% usually involves at least doubling the fare. Were not talking like on DL where E can be $15 less than a fare earning 50% of the miles. Or AA jumping from a Q to O. look at the HU site and see what the difference is between Economy Saver/Basic and Flex Saver. I did a random date BOS-PEK (while writing this I see you need to be very careful)

Saver was a Q fare (50% earning) for $439 each way
Basic was a N (No earning???????) for $757 each way
Flex Saver was a M (earns 100%) for $1000 each way

That's a pretty big jump for a 100% fare

I'm not really old enough to be Lao Wai (which, anyway according to my understanding could be seen as a neutral term).

I'll perfectly willing to concede that the correct romanization of 鬼佬 may be Gui Lo. That having been said, a quick google search would tend to indicate that when used in it's pejorative function, the term is spelled as Gweilo, like the Mandarin equivalent, Guizi.

老外 an age neutral term.

鬼佬 is not widely used in mainland China.

Anyone had success in having Hainan miles posted in AS account? I took SEA to PVG on HU over three weeks ago, still not seeing miles appeared in my account. Sent required documents to mileage claim department, no response despite of their auto email stating 5-7 business days frame.

I have another HU round trip to China coming up next week, and I need to know if I should continue to bank them in AS account. Has anyone had similar experiences?

As promised, I'm reporting back on the mileage posting status of my recent trip to China on HU.

Travel date 8/3 to 8/7, mileage just showed up on my account today on 9/2.

SEA to PVG, EQM: 5,723, Bonus miles: 18,600 (R class earns 200%, double miles promotion 200%, MVP Gold 75k 225%)

same numbers for the return flight.

In total, I spent $2,310, earned 48,646 miles for the trip, 4.7 cents/mile for business class fare, not bad at all.

In fact, I'm flying on HU again today, from SEA to URC (Urumuqi) via PEK, looking forward to another load of miles coming in soon!

BTW, I posted about an upcoming HU fare sale out of YYZ in the premium fares section.

J from YYZ to PEK for CAD$2000 or USD$1500. Limited dates (and unfortunately outside of the double miles promo).

With FI and EK offering lounge access to MVPG, I'm curious if this will be the promised elite benefit on HU. Anyone hear any updates regarding this?

Most likely, in the HU website, it stated that both FFP benefits are reciprocal. This makes MVPG even more valuable ^

I can't find anything on AS site. HU press release did say "more exciting reciprocal elite benefits coming soon."

Website [1] says early 2016, which I believe was pushed back from late 2015 (maybe November 2015 or something).

Just saw that HU is starting LAX-CSX on 21 January on their 788. Initially it will operate on Monday and Thursday.

Still haven't flown Hainan, but hope to do so in the coming year.

Is Changsha a major city in China? Have not heard about it before and so did not expect this route.
