T&C for Asiana Bonus Club (OZ) Star Alliance awards

1. Validity: 1 year, non-extendable

2. All segments must be confirmed in advance, standby not permitted

3. All changes to the itinerary must be completed 3 days prior to departure.

4. Once ticketed, you cannot change the itinerary in any way

5. Once ticketed, no re-deposit of tickets except for wholly unused tickets

6. Lost Star awards tickets will not be replaced, reissued or refunded for mileage

7. Child and infant tickets are charged at the Adult rate

8. No unaccompanied minor tickets will be issued (ie. all award travel by under-12s has to be accompanied by an adult)

All in all, a pretty shocking set of rules... it can be summarized as use it or lose it, lose it and lose it (quite literally!!) I'm surprised people even bother to use OZ miles for Star awards, since it's also vastly expensive...!

Does anyone have the info on BD? I am quite interested in how restrictive their Star awards are... Thanks
