Thanks for the info. I will look into UA. So is it easy to get E+ on UA for transpacific flights? Also, if I wanted to go to MNL, is it possible to book UA from ORD to NRT and then take what airline? Could it be a *A member?

When you book click on the option for view seats or something like that, and yes if you sucessfully comp to UA as a 2P or higher, your internet account will reflect your status. After that you will be able to select "Premium" Seats when you book. From NRT to MNL you can take SQ to SIN and then to MNL or you can take UA to ICN and OZ(Asiana) to MNL. If you are travelling from ORD to MNL you can make a connection at SFO (UA) and ICN (OZ) and save time at NRT. The current Star Members as of May 23, 2003: AC, ANZ, NH, OS (group), OZ, BD, LH, MX, SK, SQ, JK (Spanair), RG, UA, and TG. If you wnat to look at the possibliltes, just download a Star Alliance timetable at
www.staralliance.com and it says there are about 45 possibilites. If you have trouble booking E+ just call them up and they will assign you E+ for you.
