And I'm not talking about the SQ flight of a single flight-number all the way through. :-:

So, aside from SQ, which airlines should I consider on a US-Europe-Asia trek?

OK, thanks. :-:

LX and TK (all the way through or connecting to SQ) would be some of my top choices.

You could always position to take NZ LAX-LHR-HKG.

Talking to OPSC now. IAH-FRA on LH is showing online as 100% fare miles. I have a reservation on hold that i will print to show others if needed. CO fails in my opinion if they dont give 100% miles on these fares until they fix the mileage earning on the tickets once purchased. Truth in advertising guys!!

The site has had this bug forever. It really sucks but they have always credited based on the real rules. Good luck claiming it based on what co.com says. I agree that they should honor it but you will have to fight for it.

Has anyone eaten at Hungry Mother in Boston? Looks like a good place to try while I'm up there. http://www.hungrymothercambridge.com

Another good call...I should have thought of that since I heard the NZ callsign on Channel 9 the other night over Utah doing the LAX-LHR route.

I remember reading somewhere that NZ flights are nearly impossible with UA miles...hopefully CO miles prove easier to use in that case for you.
