So much for the Intra- OW Alliance consistency. American has fully extended status for a full year, doubtlessly under pressure from the other US "Big 2" DL and UA plus Southwest which did the same thing even adding extra benefits. Finnair has also been extremely cooperative.

I have had, since all this began, to cancel trips with Finnair, AA and BA, the first two being no problem at all, but BA delaying things and refusing flexibility for as long as they could... only to HAVE to fully refund me , with the money now-re-credited. IAG (BA/IB, not sure for Vueling and not involved with EL) do not seem to realize that there will be an "After" (or actually maybe there won't) and that the good will and choice of their (former?) customers will be paramount for their recovery.

That they have lost me forever as much as I'll be able to is totally unimportant. They will howerer have lost millions who have not been treated better than me, and THIS will have a significant if not definitive impact.
