Hi everyone,
I have been an avid passive reader for a while and really like the forum. Now my first question: I am flying from London to Australia via HKG at end of the year and back in the new year in Y. No other CX flights are planned for the immedeate future, but I could use the M+M award miles quite well (I also have Senator status with Lufthansa).
So, my idea would be to collect the M+M miles on the HKG to Australia leg and Marco Polo miles on the first leg. Would that work?
These mileage plans are in place to "encourage" to fly the hoster of the mileage plan (and to a secondary degree, the corresponding alliance).
To be able to deposit to AsiaMiles, you'lll have to fly on CX or OneWorld metal, marketed by CX or a OneWorld alliance partner.
So, depositing CX miles to a competing airline in a competing alliance: Quite unlikely.
