Just booked a couple of biz class tickets to LAX for next Sept. When I spoke with the agent, he said that sched changes would not require new mileage calculation; however, that any voluntary change would... i.e. if you pay for the change, you'll need to cough up the extra miles.
Oh well, doh.

This "promo" is pretty interesting... is there any consensus on change fees though? I'm thinking of booking it for November 2012, but in reality, I can't travel until early 2013, so I'm thinking of booking, then paying the change fee to change - but I wonder whether that'll imply extra mileage to change. Any consensus on that?

Thank you FLYER TALK
Just booked --- for April 2012 -- using the multi-city option on the web
YUL-ZRH - LX87 -- J Class
ZRH-FRA - LH1185 -- J Class
FRA-SIN - SQ25 -- J Class (shows as SQ's A80)
SIN - STOP
SIN-BKK - SQ972 -- J Class
BKK-FRA - TG922 -- J Class
FRA-MUC - LH122 -- J Class
MUC - STOP
MUC - YUL - LH474 -- J Class
75,000 points
Fuel Surcharge $379.30
Other Taxes(Airport Fees) $267.99
Total $647.29
I live in YYZ but could not find any pure J Class on the out bound (all Y class to PVG/PEK then J to SIN) also the return to YYZ was on AC which ended costing another $225--$250 in fuel surcharge. Will most likely end up paying $250 for YYZ-YUL but at least I will get a few status miles out of it.
I hope SQ doesn't pull the A380 off the FRA-SIN SQ25 service.
Good Luck to all -- be creative, keep searching.

Now, if it could match up with 787 service to HND...

I was just toying around with SIN as a destination and actually saw open J seats on LH779 SIN-FRA (A388!) for more than just seat... actually quite surprised, but I'm not going to fly that just to try business on the 380 with four of my closest buddies... Oh yeah, Y to get there

SQ J on the 388, or LH F on the 388 are, of course, a different story...

Will this put to rest complaints about devaluation of AE? I'd be delighted if I could book these kind of deals on my home *A carrier

This is why I ended up today with a real person (who refused to acknowledge a published routing I was seing on the site..).

I couldn't read all 26 pages of the thread. Can someone answer two quick questions?
1. Is the deal available on the phone with two stopovers?
2. Can I upgrade an existing booking from business to first and pay no additional miles (since first is sold for business mileage now)?
Thanks!

2. I don't know, I strongly doubt it.

2. No. I have tried. New bookings only. You could try cancel and rebook but there is no way to make sure the canceled seats would be released back into inventory for you to rebook.

It would definitely make sense to spend the $90 to change to F if you can find availability.
