Cruise is July 2004 or possibly July 2005 - depending whether or not the stock market behaves - and/or I can get my Business Class Air through mileage! Good news to hear that US will probably be admitted to Star...as for purchasing tickets - I do not purchase business class....and I only purchase domestic tickets...saving the mileage for International Business Class Award tickets. Thanks for your help... </font>
Sounds like US might be your best bet, however, it really is a bet. You win if, when US offers *A awards, that it is possible to do an Open Jaw across different regions. To get an indication, phone UA and ask how many miles would be needed for an award ticket based on your itinerary. They might tell you that you just can't do it. Yes or no, US would probably be the same.
