Just called UA, and was told to a premier gold with a challenge.

Which means you'll need to fly 12,000 miles (I think) within 90 days.

Who is your current status with and how did you achieve it? Why do you want to change from oneworld?

Latam. I got the status due to flying close to 100k per year for the past few years. But I do not use LATAM enough to get enough sectors. I am moving because I will not fly a lot of Syd-SCL in future. Still I prefer oneworld, but AA or Qanta do not status match so far.

Yes, about that. A Syd-LAX return will do it.

But remember that, going forward, you'll need four segments in UA metal to keep whatever status you have.

Please follow the redirect as we move your post and merge it with an extensive master thread.

That would never have worked. IB and BA are both owned by IAG, never mind being in the same alliance.

OK, I'm not going to find out WHEN I wrote this, but I am guessing this was before they came together and IAG even existed...?

Posted Feb 27, 2012, approximately a year after their merger creating IAG.

Anyone in here ever tried to match with EgyptAir?

Ok..am a UA 1K/Star Gold...tired of the BS...
Worth it to try to status match with AA or DL?

Different BS with each. Glad I status matched my EXP to 1K. The EXP desk is now staff with way too many clueless HP/US agents. You'll miss the 1K agents. AA is now a garbage airline. Meals are inedible, worse than anything even Jeff thought off. DL's agents are solid but you're stuck with the # alliance. I guess it all depends on what are you looking for in an airline/alliance. If you decide to match/challenge, make you sure you complete the challenge after July 1st so you get an extra year.

Any updates on A3, vis-a-vis downgrades to "fast-tracked" Silver/Gold statuses?

I was planning on status matching as I have AA EXP from significant flying 2016 and would like to get some sort of status with either Delta or Alaska. However this year I will have very little flying. When I request a status match (was planning to late 2017 to get 2018 status), will they look at my YTD miles flown and deny me (as all the flying was in 2016)?

Anyone knows if Air China Offers Status Match?
Thanks

But better business decision-making paradygms at AA and DL. The Dao situation is just the latest example, and the UA GA didn't think clearly as it wasn't an overbook situation so those rules didn't apply and the CFR didn't allow them to do what they did to Dr Dao. Should have offered more money snd gotten the 4th "volunteer." DL will pay up to apx $10k, but UA will drag you off and end up having to pay MILLIONS. And, their CEO is dishonest and not honorable so will lie and not accept responsibility. Dougie at AA may not be the best, but can't imagine him pulling a Munoz, who doesn't know his basic Herb Kelaher. Also, airline food is rarely edible on any airline.

I'd fly Frontier before I'd set foot in a UA/UX plane. Social responsibility counts for something.

They don't.

Just did a match of my UA Gold to CX MPC Silver. The process was relatively easy, just sent them all my details. I am switching all my flying from *A to OW this year so I guess I'll see what the other side lives like. I'm actually surprised at how easy it was. At least OWR seems to offer more than *S.

Does anyone know of any recent matches from Oneworld Emerald to any Skyteam programme?

So I searched this thread, and couldn't find the answer. Does Southwest Airlines match airlines' elite status? I would love A list preferred, but think they only challenge up to a status...

They only give challenges.

Thanks for the idea. Could you share the email you used to contact them and what info is needed?

You can email them at [email protected]

I just sent them PDF printouts of my United login page showing my status as well as a statement showing my flights for the past year.

Do CX provide a status match even without travel having been made to HKG in the past?

Thank you!

They do if you have an existing booking.

Do you know if i book an award flight with them will do the trick for a status match?

Presumably with Alitalia having a doubtful future, we may start to see some of its competitors offering status match deals for their goal MilleMiglia customers...like me? Certainly I am very reluctant to book anything with Alitalia beyond the next month or so, so will be looking to other airlines be they in the same alliance or others to which to take my custom.

Anyone knows how I can match to MilleMiglia from BA gold? Cheers

You can't, AZ ended status match last year.

MilleMiglia? AZ gone bankcrupt, who cares anymore

In theory, if they matched him and AZ stopped their operations, I believe some of the ST carriers would step up to get AZ's elites' business by offering them a status match. So it might actually be of some use.

Guys AZ always gets saved by the Italian government.

Alitalia have not gone bankrupt, and you could be on extremely shaky legal ground posting such a comment.

Really... but all the news channel say that they have filed for bankruptcy this Tuesday. already!

Does anybody know if LATAM will match Delta Platinum (75,000 miles/year) to their Platinum (OW Sapphire) or Black (OW Emerald) level?

I've seen reports on StatusMatcher of FB Platinums (70,000 miles/year) getting Black, but of course they also don't have a higher published tier like Delta does with Diamond (125,000 miles/year).

I have AA Platinum Status from a promotion that expires in a month. Could I do a status match somewhere before expiration? What would be the best strategy?

We have a SWA Companion Pass, so most of our domestic flights are on SWA. We primarily would use the status on international trips plus times when I fly for business without her (3-4x per year).

Does Air Canada Offers Status Match?

Not officially.
