AA very valuable SWU's are for AA flights. Can they be used on BA transatlantic flights? Swapping on Coupon Connection has its risk. And OP is not yet eligible for Coupon Connection access (180 days/180 posts ?)
I do agree about the calendar year. The OP should consider switching to AA at the end of this year. If the OP was traveling a lot internationally then the opup
issue would be relevant. It would be the only reason I would even bother with the Qantas FFP.
I don't think posting 180 times would be too difficult. Personally I have never had a problem trading Evips through CC. Even if he only traded 4 he would accrue another 100k miles. Not to be scoffed at.
EVIP's can only be used on AA flights.
One can upgrade flights on BA & Iberia with AA miles but the pts
required are risible.
I was delighted to see that Qantas finally realized that it might be a good idea to offer thier customers the ability to request an upgrade at the airport rather than give all the spare seats in business class etc to their staff.
