Thanks and yes I have thought about using in other areas. Like most of us the stress the virus brings to all of us coupled with a host of "what if"

Stay well and thanks

So to confirm, once I hit platinum after 580 XP qualifying, it's only 300 XP to renew or have I misunderstood that?

BobTL

correct

Do we get xp on DL flights operated by Hawaiian Airlines?
I guess it is no as it is not a skyteam member.
But as Hawaian is a skyteam partner...maybe ? I thought...so it is definitely a "no"

This is a stupid question but I can't figure it out, I'm looking at AF/KL flights to CDG from LHR for Dec 20, is there a way to be billed in EUR, I've looked all over the AF/KL sites and there doesn't appear to be anything about changing the payment currency.

I don't mind paying GBP as I'm UK based but I'm using a Dutch card to pay and would rather avoid the FX fee.

Pick an AF site in the Eurozone. AF seems to apply the currency of the site location rather than origin. KL sets currency based on origin.

AF.nl adds a €10 booking fee, AF.fr doesn't seem to, although the price only seems €9 cheeper on AF.fr, whilst AF.de AF.gr a full €10 cheaper than AF.nl. Shop around

If you use the AF app you should be able to pay always in your local currency. I have it setup that way although I dont quite remember how!!!

As a plat, I get an extra piece of check in luggage with ST. What happens if my first flight is with KL(AMS-CPH) and the next 2 flights are with SQ (CPH- SIN-BNE). Everything is on one ticket so it should be checked through to BNE but could SQ claim compensation from me for the extra piece?

I have done such before but then the majority of the distance was with ST.

To make it a bit more difficult, I would be taking a bicycle with me as that extra piece. Will this be allowed by SQ without paying extra?
If I am correct, KL will accept the bicycle as an extra piece, right?

Goldorak

the rule of the most significant flight will apply to the whole itinerary i.e. CPH-SIN/SQ.

Hi all,
Am in a situation which I am not sure how FB will work in this case.
I initially had a reservation marketed by KQ and some flights operated by KLM. However due to the current situation, I had to postpone my return which were all initially flights marketed by KQ. However after calling KLM (as KQ agent here in Europe), for the new ticket, the flights are all now KL numbered (even those operated by KQ).
Therefore I am wondering, how will be the miles be calculated for these flights? Distance based or $$ based. If $$ based, can I argue after flying these flights with FB that they were originally KQ marketed?
[distance based is more advantageous for me].

Cheers!

Goldorak

I believe it will be €€ based

But you can always request them to credit the original miles. They should not make an issue out of that.

I do not believe that they would post the "original miles", as those miles relate to a flight that was voluntarily changed.

If the passenger was required by the airline to travel on different flights, meaning that it was the airline's fault alone that the OP couldn't travel as originally booked, then sure, original routing credit should not be a problem; however, as the new flights are a result of the passenger's own request, the full consequences of that choice should be borne by the passenger, who requested them. (Maybe if the flights were cancelled prior to the passenger's request to rebook; otherwise there should be no reference to the original flights for mileage earning purposes).

irishguy28

I also second that the earning should be based on the spend; KLM should be able to determine how much of the original spend was assigned to these flights.

Last year, I was travelling on a CI ticket that included CI's codeshares on the AF flights between Paris and Taipei in both directions. As reported in the thread: AF launches Taipei (TPE)-Taiwan, China Airlines dropped their codeshares on these AF flights back in January of last year, prior to my trip.

After contacting CI in response to the receipt of these "cancellation" emails, and in order to restore my ticket to a flyable condition, they reissued the ticket with the flight CI9238 (CDG-TPE) rebadged as AF552, and with the flight CI9237 (TPE-CDG) rebadged as AF557.

The flights earned based on spend...despite CI having a more distant relationship than KQ to AFKL, AFKL could still see the amount of the fare for their flights.
