I've been reading thru the OW forum and am considering a switch to OW after 20+ years in UA Milage Plus (1K for last 10+ years and Lifetime Premier Exec = *A Gold (=AA Platinum equiv)

Who do I contact at AA to get comp PLAT (even tho my 1K is EXP equiv)and once done do I earn the 100% staus bonus from then on ??

Am considering a AONEx soon... is BKK-SYD-JFK-EZE without a stopover a valid routing ( I would return to USA and Australia later in the trip for other segemtns) ??

Thanx
