Miles & Bonus program is sector oriented. The passenger redeems for every flight number the miles corresponding to such flight.

Australia to UK in F, for example...
Far East - Oceania redemption @ 150K return
+
Far East - Europe redemption @ 200K return

So 350K for a SYD-LHR F class? UA want 200K.

However, they also have a Oceania - Europe award level @200K F class. I just don't understand how you'd get between the two regions on one *A sector.

If that's correct, it's a major reason that's keeping me away from M&B. Status to me is less important than reasonable redemption.

Hoping to be corrected...

A3 program is segment based for redemptions on A3. For redemptions on partners it is same as all other airlines - your ultimate destination is what matters
