crap. How do I get to San francisco then :)
Surprisingly neither SFO or LAX is in the online list of codeshare destinations that they sell. Other US options are BOS, ORD, RDU (!!) etc. However, there are also a ton of Canadian destinations, and YVR would probably be geographically the closest you can get to SFO on a 9W codeshare (atleast among the online bookable ones.) This routes via LHR with LHR-YVR on AC metal on a 9W code. AC has an excellent longhaul J hard product, with the J seat virtually identical to the herringbone 9W seat, albeit slightly narrower at the shoulders I found. |
No tickets available to LHR on my dates, shall I just park thesr miles on my skywards account then?

9W metal will get you to the East Coast (JFK/EWR/YYZ). You'll have to find code share options for the transcon to SFO.

your best option is to fly to either jfk or ewr with jet & then take a connecting aa flight to sfo....you won't get tier miles on the ny-sfo sector but you will still get partner miles.... |
just fly 9w stateside and then take an AA flight to SFO

"IF THE FARE COMPONENT INCLUDES TRAVEL WITHIN UNITED STATES THEN THAT TRAVEL MUST BE ON ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING ANY UA FLIGHT OPERATED BY UA." |

I would avoid YYZ (especially on the in bound) if your destination that day is the USA; no point in doing immigration and customs twice.
If you fly AA to SFO then fly into JFK (not EWR); all AA's non-stops in NYC to SFO go from JFK. Also, if they are including a business class seat; prefer the 767-300 vs. 767-200; better J seats. For AUS, it's switched. I would suggest landing at EWR with 9W and then connecting to AA via DFW and then to AUS. There are more flights from EWR to DFW than the once daily from JFK to DFW especially if there are flight delays. I recall a CO non-stop from EWR to AUS. Perhaps you can book it as a UA flight number if allowed but then you don't the miles on 9W for that segment. |

actually AA is allowed too (further up the rules, and also in the routing rules).
