With all due, and true, respect to the 5 who disagree (posting legends all), I have been participating in this thread and it's precursors since 2009 when planning my first xONEx. At some point a mod, I think maybe Gardyloo, consolidated several related threads into this one. A wise move, and along with PandaPerhs sub, it has been invaluable to me. It's a sticky most importantly, but the traffic has never been so overwhelming or off base that I couldn't follow along and maybe learn something I didn't know I needed to know. A separate post about each. possible combination of plating airline and crediting FF program would likely disappear pretty quickly. Seriously, I have intended to be helpful with this discussion, and believe I've been at least partially successful. Peace, all.
