On my call yesterday the gentleman mentioned that they got a memo that Thailand will open up on September 1. Take that with a grain of salt.
On a different matter I would like to ask you guys of an opinion where to credit these flights.
Ideally Id like to put it on Alaska, but not sure when they will join.
So that leaves me with either BA or AA.
BA i have bronze, but that doesn't matter since there seems to be no extra bonus. However, I do have a family account and all of us will travel together so thats a lot of points gathered together.
AA I have EXP, the rest dont have status. There is no family pooling, but when they finish this trip I think they will hit PLT status (AA reduced what is required) due to the distance and spend.
What do you guys think?

Currently it looks like AS will join OW at the end of Summer 2021.

I am thinking of switching my non-star alliance miles from AA over to AS as well. At this point, I would think long and hard about doing the same as AA has been really cheapening the redemption benefits in AAdvantage. Just my personal opinion. Over 90% of my flying is in business (at least it used to be until this spring 
) so I don't value status.

I'm not sure if you're joking (smiley face) or not. "Health and safety" regulations and emergency restrictions to combat a global pandemic are not the same thing.

Does anyone have any experience with using the 2 year ticket validity option? My flights in September were cancelled by QR and I'd like to just move the trip to next summer. I see on the Passenger Guidelines PDF it says under the section titled "Change Entire Travel on/before 31 December 2020" that they'll waive fare differences, but does this mean for travel completed by 31 December 2020 or just that I need to make the changes by 31 December 2020?

Darn, thank you for that. For future reference, what do they mean when they say keep your ticket and they'll extend the validity for 2 years?

Rang Qatar and was told that the policy for allowing a change in departure city within 500 miles for a change to non Q suites or/ and a change in schedule of more than 5 hours is no longer available . I really don’t want to spend 8 hrs in Doha in both directions so may very well cancel and get a full refund which they agree I can do .
if any one else hears Or experiences other wise please do let me know

Hi all,
can anyone advice me.
I am flying to Oslo through Doha but wanted to change for Berlin (safer when it comes to another outbreak as can travel by train) and read the policy once again. The booking is possible to change 14 AFTER (?) the booking and 3 days BEFORE the flight? Can I change it without any fare difference fee? It's the same class (S).
Will appreciate any response, thanks

Sorry it took a while to come back to you. I was booked to ATQ and the agent couldn't find a distance to MLE. Said she looked at Delhi to MLE instead and then went ahead with the change.

If your flight is scheduled before 31st Dec 2020, difference in fare, taxes, fees, charges, surcharges and rebooking charges will be waived.
