Star Alliance - Status on Boarding Pass
LGA_UAL
Jan 11, 07, 6:41 pm
I am never quite sure how my status is supposed to show up on Star Alliance boarding passes, so I thought I would post a thread here, to see if we could compile a list of how the different airlines list it on their boarding passes. I've only flown a couple of Star carriers, so I will only include those, and I am hoping you'll can help me fill in the rest. My experience is based on being a Premier Executive, so it may be different for status from other carriers. However, I wanted to know what I should look for when I fly partner carriers, to ensure that I eventually get credit from United.
AC
NZ
NH
OZ
OS
BD = XX*G or XXP
LO
LH = XX*G or XXP
SK = XX*G
SQ = XX*G
SA
JK = XX*G
LX = FQTV/XXXXXXXX???/XX*G
TP = = FQTV/XXXXXXXX???/XX*G
TG
UA = Premier Executive
US = Premier Executive
VG
For LX & TP, ??? are the last three digits of the MP number. I believe with BD and LH, the "UAP" means that the number is in the system, but they don't recognize it as a Star Gold number. I believe I read in the LH forum that in order to get the XX*G on the boarding pass, you must show the representative your card at check-in. I always find it odd that the LH F/C check-in position will hand me a boarding card with UAP on it, but they never insinuate I am in the wrong line. When I ask where the lounge is, they usually say I can't use it because I am not in C. After I show them my card, they then tell me where the lounge is, but they don't usually reprint a card with UA*G on it.

My US boarding passes give the US level in large letters at the top and
STAR GOLD
in small letters on the bottom.
My OZ boarding passes say:
US*G

SQ = XX*G (and SQxxxxxxxxx for Kris Flyer members and additionally Q/T/LPPx in smaller font for PPS members)
To add to the above for SQ, "additionally EG/ES/K in smaller font for Krisflyer Elite Gold, Elite Silver or General members"

What about XX*S? I am sure my status was not shown on bp as frequently as Gold when I was Silver.

On NH BPs it's:
12345678 XX for General Members
12345678 XX*S for *Silver and
12345678 XX*G for *Gold
with 1234578 being your FF-No (obviously) :)
Dave
On LH my BPs simply say *G as a UA 1P (and previously as a UA 1K).

Does NH write the FF number for all programs or just those passengers in their program?
I don't like how BD, LH, JK, SQ don't write your number on the boarding card. I like knowing my actual number is in the system like on UA, LX, and TP.

I'm sure that they print LH M&M numbers. Don't know about other airlines.

AC = XX*G
My boarding pass ex-YVR on AC shows:
XX123456789G
where:
XX is the carrier of my FFP
123456789 is my FFP No.
G signifies you are *G with your chosen FFP

My OZ boarding passes say:
US*G
From my experience:
If the OZ flight is miles accruable:
XX123456789 XX*G
If the OZ flight is non-miles accruable:
NO MILES XX*G
where:
XX is the carrier of my FFP
123456789 is my FFP No.

Actually what it says (where miles can be accrued) on OZ is.
Underneath the departure time and seat assignment.

SA:
XXXXX/SILV
XXXXX/GOLD
XXXXX/PLAT (not sure, never been one!)
in small type at the top of the BP
AND
SILV, GOLD or PLAT in large type in the centre of the BP (makes for easy lounge access, you just wave your BP at the attendants).
I think that if you dont have status but are a Voyager member, it says BLUE in the large type and XXXX/FQTFL in the small type at the top.
