Does the 4 flight "Operated by United" for status require the ticket to be United?
Hello,
I should have 10,000+ PQP for 2022, mostly on flights with SAS and other United partners. Unfortunately I don't yet have any flights that are 'Operated by United', hence no status at all.
I'm looking to book a roundtrip flight from CPH<>CHO (via IAD). There should be two segments on the ticket from IAD<>CHO that are United metal. However the flight would be booked via SAS, as that itinerary doesn't appear to be bookable by United.
Question -- Would these flights on United metal count as 2 of the 4 needed for Premier Platinum Status, even if ticketed by SAS? Or do the flights have to be ticketed and operated by United?
