Clarification request - where do UL posts go?
 
I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

This is more of a general request for clarification than a suggestion: Where should posts pertaining to Sri Lankan Airlines be posted? Skywards is a joint program betweek EK and UL but the forum is named Emirates Airlines Skywards. Do they then go in "Other Asian, Australian and South Pacific Frequent Flyer Programs?"

Thanks!

Does seem a relevant question!

Using the logic that was recently applied to the (former) Lufthansa Miles & More forum, where it was changed to Miles & More (Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian & other partners) perhaps something similar could/should be done here...


i.e. rename it to something like: Skywards (Emirates, Sri Lankan and other partners)

Actually raises an interesting question which is certainly worthy of discussion around the purposes of FT and how that affects TB. To wit:

Is the primary purpose of FT to discuss programs generating miles and points or the use of travel providers which provide miles and points, which would encompass the miles & points dicussion?

In the short term, my answer would be that questions about the programme go to EK, questions about the airline and the service etc go into Other Asian (etc).

Then where should a hypothetical question like below go:

Are the onboard service & seats worth the 40k skywards miles to upgrade CMB-XXX from economy to business class on this day flight, or can I get better value from those miles?

I haven't checked/counted, but my impression is that currently most discussion is on the other asian forum. It would seem sensible to clarify if EK forum is a better place for it (as it may well be).

Do you have the devil's advocate undies on outside your devil's advocate suite? :p

I'd put that question in EK Skywards forum because you are asking what is the best use of skywards miles.

And yet also asking about the service/seats onboard...

Well heck, I can't answer the question, but after reading the above I feel obligated to put The Devil Wears Prada in the dvd player! I don't think I have any Commando movies to insert ;) :D

Cheers.
