Not to distract too much from this MHUpgrade topic, but does anyone have any experience of of complimentary upgrades on airlines where they have no status other than One-world status?
Unsurprising. If you're a WP or at least SG, MH will honour it as it would any other oneworld status. From my understanding based on the conversations I've had with friends there - it's like this (VIP's and other irregular ops situations aside) -
1) Enrich Platinum Prestige
2) Enrich Platinum
3) All other One World Emerald
4) Enrich Gold
5) All other One World Sapphire
6) Enrich Silver
7) All other one world Ruby
and so on. IMHO - probably the best way to go about it.
This method, however, is NOT the modus operandi with ALL oneworld carriers. Most famously or infamously depending on your point of view, the carrier based some 1500 miles north east of KUL follows a very different hierarchy in determining opups.
