One of the most important things about redemption when comparing Star Alliance & OneWorld is that none of the Star Alliance partners let you make date changes on the return once the journey has begun.
Example - United, Lufthansa, Mexicana.
OneWorld on the other lets you make as many date changes as you want for free. </font>
One point of clarification. On a UA award on UA metal you can change dates, even after departure, with no fee, any number of times. It's a UA award on another *A metal that the above statement is true. I don't know the rules of the other *A programs.
so would the above mean that an AA award on CX metal for example can have date changes after departure? that is a benefit.
