Does USAir status match BMI Silver?
I have a paid USAir business class ticket PHL-TLV and I just signed up for the BMI Silver. US and United will status match but you have to fly a certain amount of miles in 90 days or you lose the match. Will my Star Alliance silver give me a 25% or 50% bonus so I can reach the miles quicker?
Thanks

No. It doesn't work like that.
If you want the 25% bonus you will have to credit to the program that you have Star Alliance Silver in, i.e. BMI.
You will get the standard bonuses (for business) if you credit to another program, e.g. US or United.

baggage allowance
Apparently there was made a change to the baggage allowance for *S on continental&united flights: instead of 2 bags free only one free as of March.
In my experience though I was allowed with 2 bags in May....maybe is still not so enforced...

That is quite obscene. I wonder if A3 is financially stable enough for me to shift over to them. Although that said the Mrs. is already there and will, on our current flight plans, make *G before me To think I may need her to guest me in rather than v/v!

If A3 goes under, your status will likely be matched by M&M so that *A doesn't lose your business.

This chart is great, so thank you for compiling it.
One item to be added to the luggage allowance line - AC Prestige waives the fee for a second piece of checked baggage.
Thanks again for compiling this.

One change for the chart..
I believe that the benefit to Europe/Israel/India residents of 200% miles for Biz (as opposed to 150%) has been discontinued
Great chart!

Star Silvers who are flying on tickets bought before the announcement of a reduction in baggage allowance/fee waiver benefit for Star Silvers have a reasonable basis upon which to insist that they should still be granted 2 free bags as those were the rules applicable at the time of ticket purchase.
