Otherwise QF codeshares on AA can only be booked as part of a ticket that has QF flight trans-pacific (which you obviously do not have), and the same applies to QF107/108. You would have to fly QF to or from US to book any QF flight or codeshare in NA.

But, if you are flying AONEx, there is little benefit for having WP status, and you still get credit for lifetime SC. So it doesn't seem to be of much impact to you if QF refuses to renew WP (other than loss of the status bonus).
Ok understood but still annoying as I have been loyal to them for 7 years and status bonus adds up. If you were in my position globetrotting for at least another year from the UK often via canada or S America who would you go with? I'm about at Ruby status lifetime so I should change after this I reckon.

Last question, slightly out of this thread but need to get to sleep - Once an ONR has been issued when you pay a $125 for a re-route can you re-route continents?

Now - Africa -E-SA-NA-SWP-Asia-AF (1 flight taken MRU-LON)
Want - Africa E-SWP(transit in Asia)-SA-NA-Asia-Africa
Or- Africa-E-Asia-SWP-SA-NA-Africa
is that possible?

thanks for any advice
Searching for a routing thread, know of any?
