Do I have any options for upgrading using UA miles on any *A carriers? I thougth I ready in the sticky FAQ's that this was a new option?
Currently to upgrade on NZ you need NZ airpoints, or NZ elite upgrade vouchers.
Currently to upgrade on SQ you need SQ or DL or LH or NH miles.
*A-wide mileage upgrades have started rolling out but so far only a few airlines.
For more information please see
