Hi,

As has been mentioned in a previous post I plan to purchase a DONE4 ex WAW. From the experiences of others it appears that AA would be the best option for ticketing as the others including BA are very unhelpful.

1) My first question is can I book a DONE4 through AA when I wont actually be flying with them (I plan to fly with BA/LA/QF/CX) will that cause any problems or even will they refuse? Will I lose out on my BA Miles?

2) What does it mean in the star files that one cannot make changes to a 'Preceding flight' after ticketing?

3) Part of my itinerary will be LHR-GIG - is it possible to get off at GRU as a stopover on a one number flight and for it not to be considered a segment when continue later and fly GRU - GIG

4) Does someone know or can direct me to a thread or a location where I can be inventive in utilising the maximum segments possibility in areas like SCL or HKG where airlines start and stop from (as they use up segments too easily)

5) A TA told me that he expects xONEx fares to rise in the near future - is this true or is he trying a hard sell?

6) I share a household account with the other half - to reach a new level will our combined tier points be enough or do we each have to reach that level

7) this may be a silly question but if one of our connections flights are delayed causing us to miss our connection will we have serious problems getting availability on the next flight due to our class status being 'limited'

I appreciate all who help and apologise if some of these questions sound super novice.

Best and thanks to those that answer
