Newbie help please
I've got 34k destination miles in my DC account. Can I only use them on bmi operated flights or can I use them on any *A route?
If the latter, how do I? If the former, is it worth using them or holding on for 'Adios' points transfer?
Thanks in advance, folks.

Right now, they can be used on any *A route more or less in the next 365 days. Friday of next week, you won't be able to use them for ticketing on LH, LX, OS or SN, but the rest of *A should be fine until further notice...
And, the broad consensus is that the value lies in DC redemptions for the most part.

has it been confirmed other *A awards will still be bootable after the 18th. I have 50k miles I'd like to redeem on UA, but not sure where or when yet.

Hi
There is a sticky post 5th down from the top on this forum entitled 'Read this first...' it has a yellow exclamation sign next to it.
That will give all the info required to check availability and book redemptions.
For info the links worked for me...
Good Luck!
