If an airline returns partner airlines when we query them for awards then maybe, other then that no. That's why you need to confirm with your airlines website or a phone call to them. If there was a reasonable way to do it, we would have done it a long time ago. The problem is that StarNet (and the equivalent for other alliances) are basically seperate and private from the airlines award/upgrade/fare class inventory that is available via or thru a GDS.
