1. My calculation put this at between 16-17K miles which would be a 130K mile award. Am I right?
2. The rules say that you can't use BA for non stop flights across the Atlantic. Is SEA-MAN with a connection in LHR considered an OK flight?
3. Which airlines are the best for this route?
I assume SEA-NYC would be AA, NYC-MAN, & MAN-TLV, BA.
What would be best for TLV-PEK and HKK-SEA
I thank you all in advance for any input
You can't use AA miles for a BA metal flight from the US to the UK. Canada and Mexico will work though. You can earn AA miles on one BA route (JFK-MAN) only if you book it as the AA codeshare.
