Sorry transpac, had not looked at that as I assumed it might just relate to accruing miles.

Well as the saying goes ... you learn SOMETHING new from FT each days. And this is my learning curve for today.

Not only is there a 75K Biz Air China award SYD to China possible, but UA on phone just tells me that is common rated to Mongolia as WELL as Beijing, (???) saving us the $US450 each I thought we needed to pay for Beijing-Ulan Bator.

Agent told me the Air China partnership is "new" - anyone know when it came on stream?
