AS does not allow mixing of partners. The only mixing allowed is they will get you to the US gateway city on AS/QX so you can hop on the partner flight.
For the purposes of AS Mileage Plan, AF and KL are considered ONE airline (and thus awards involving both of them are not considered mixing partners). So you could potentially do: SEA-LAX-CDG//AMS-LAX-SEA as an open-jaw on AF/KL. This is the only case where you can "mix partners". |

What I'm refering to is if you have already flown the outbound, you are not charge anything on that. The fees only accrue on the return ticket segments. Is that not correct?

There's an important BUT to be added to this that I didn't see added:

Hi everyone! I am a newbie on this forum and thread thing..so i really dont know how it works. Is there a way we can post some pictures in this site like heart,rose,etc?
Yes, you can show pictures on Flyertalk, but you will need to upload your picture somewhere first like Flickr, Photobucket, etc. If you do not want to sign up for an account or you want to use something simple and quick, then I would recommend this site: TinyPic Once you upload your picture at Tinypic you will see four different "addresses", use the second one, which is designated for Forums and Message Boards. Just copy and paste the IMG Code to your post and your picture should appear! Image codes typically will show up as [img]http://......[/img ] Feel free to use this thread as a testing ground and upload a random picture :) |

On FlyerTalk you can literally talk about anything, just find the appropriate forum for your topic, for instance: All things Delta Airlines, go to the Delta Forum, including flights on Delta Airlines. Want to talk about exotic food, go to the DiningBuzz! Forum. Want to talk about Hotels, go to the respective Hotel Rewards Program Forum. Want to talk about travel technology or computers go to the Travel Technology. We also have the OMNI where you can literally talk about anything unrelated to miles, travel, etc! If you are unsure whether your topic belongs in one place or not, feel free to ask, and we will be more than happy to recommend the appropriate forum for your topic :) |
I'm a not so newbie but have several questions:
1. I am looking at buying a ticket from MSP-LAS with stops in SEA and LAX in F (with the flight msp-sea and lax-las on delta) and on the alaska air website it said that the fare is fully refundable so does that mean that the delta fare will be an F fare? 2. Will I get any sort of lounge access at any of the airports? 3. Will an hour and a half be enough connection time in both SEA and LAX (summer flights) Thanks Delta747 |

LAX - You can probably visit the BR for a max of 30 minutes, then you have to go to gate 39 to catch the shuttle to terminal 5... That is cutting it tight since on a good day it will take you about 30 minutes to get to T5... Probably best if you do not spend more than 15 minutes in the LAX BR. Just enough time to grab a quick drink and a cup of soup. |

1) The fare is fully refundable but you need to check the reservation details in case any of the flights are in the coach cabin which can happen. If so look at a different flight. Reservation details screen is after you pick flights but before you get to where it asks you to sign in
2) You will get access to Boardroom in SEA and LAX on paid F 3) Ive never connected from other airlines in SEA and never been to LAX so i cant help there Just looked up the fare basis code and for all three flights it said FASR and under class it said first. So I know it is in first class and now I would just like to know if the delta flights would book into the F booking code. Thanks for the quick reply. Delta747 |

Secret/obscure ways to get EQMs?
Howdy! Total n00b here, although I've been lurking for a while, thanks to Google.
Gots a quick question: I just made MVP, and will be pretty close to MVPG by the end of the year (3000-4000 short). I know American Air has an end of year "challenge" which can catapult you into the next tier by pro-rating the mileage necessary (of sorts). Does Alaska have anything similar? Any other ideas on ways to make up the extra miles? |
Thanks everybody for the answers!
I have one more question: Will I Be able to check-in for my flights MSP-SEA (delta) SEA-LAX (Alaska) LAX-LAS (delta) all at MSP or will I have to check-in at every airport? Delta747 |

Any other ideas on ways to make up the extra miles? AS has conducted a challenge the last few years. It targets people who, like you, just can't quite get over the hump. For the Gold challenge they want you to fly eight segments between mid-January and mid-March; for MVP, it's four segments (at least that is how it's been done in the recent past). It is announced on or about January 15. Normally AS has issued invites to customers who fit the parameters. So you may get an invitation to register without having to do anything. The challenge will be well-chronicled here, so stay tuned! |
