I doubt if its just Australians that are so discriminated against. In none of the senator or Frequent Traveller booklets I've been sent is there any mention of this. I doubt very much that Miles and More publish seperate stuff for Australians. I mean we are not even an on-line LH country - no local webpage or anything.
PS Sorry BB but I keep editing my last post as I find another bit of info re M+M - I'm "autumn cleaning" at the moment so I'm uncovering all sorts of stuff.
By the way do you want any Ansett information or are you going to have a rest? Personally I think Ansett will change a lot of its elite qualifying stuff over the next month or 2 eg At the moment you can get top tier status with just 75000 domestic Australian points (kilometres and class of service bonus) but you need 300000 international points for the same status.
