I have booked a flight on MH from SIN-BKK but can't issue the ticket until I know what booking class to book on. I guess I will know tomorrow..

After reviewing all the FFP's I think I'll be applying ALL miles earned on MH into my AA account. MH offers only 150% on business tickets whereas I can get 225% under AA's. I just hope MH has their computer system worked out to deal with crediting other Oneworld accounts.
As mentioned previously the fuel surcharges on award tickets are just ridiculous !!!!
Just wondering if anyone else will be switching ??

Terrible update on website
Just checked out the MH website, after all the fanfare of the joining, the update to the website is pathetic!. If you check out the website, they have added the Oneworld logo, but sadly that is so badly aligned it is covering part of their own kite logo.
Checked out their enrich page - just to get a clue on how it would be, no OW airlines are listed there as yet.
Quite a disappointment.
Btw, did anyone catch the whole joining event live on web? Saw a few of it, pity that during the introduction/welcoming greetings from the various airlines, there was a bit of screwup in line up, they mixed up LAN and Japan Airlines.. I think this threw those poor airline representative off course.. some of them got rather nervous.. the S7 rep got lost in words and abruptly ended with her Russian welcome.
Cheers!

I wonder why all the flight attendants of the other Oneworld airlines present for the gathering in KUL were only women?? Plus I wonder if they were treated to some grand tour of Kuala Lumpur or were they expected to just turn up.. surely the Finnair, S7 FAs must be happy to escape the winter blues to the sunshine of Malaysia !

But their earning rates on OW partners don't seem to be very good !
Except for LAN airlines for some reason..

OW's various timetables, including the Innovata desktop timetable, have been revised and now contain MH flights.

I have a flight next week ! But I wonder if the double points is for flights from 15th Feb, or will they allow accrual of miles from tomorrow, ie 1st Feb?

Wow, earnings are very restricted. One weird observation is the flights between Malaysia-Australia/NZ. Both Qantas and MH program have special separate earnings between these destinations.
BA earnings are out.. still waiting for the AA one's. My estimation is somewhat close to BA's program, but it could also be as restrictive as flying with Cathay.

Code:
AF (selected routes only)* First 1 - AF (selected routes only)# First 1 50% CDJZ (selected routes only)* Business 0.75 - CDJZ (selected routes only)# Business 1 25% Y (selected routes only)* Economy 0.25 - Y (selected routes only)# Economy 1 - BH (selected routes only)* Discount Economy 0.25 - BH (selected routes only)# Discount Economy 0.50 - KMLV Discount Economy 0.25 -

That's great !!!!! So they join today......I'm waiting for my MH flight to KUL and I'm coming back on Monday night but don't get bonus miles!!!!! Only MH could come up with something this dumb..... 2 weeks after they join Oneworld they decide to give bonus miles out !!!!!!
I'm wondering how long it's going to take to credit the miles to my AA account for today's flight????? Ok ok.... I'm sitting in the JAL F lounge complaining again.... I have NO idea why the eggs smell/taste like fish!!!! Not a good morning .,,,
