Back to Back to Back on different airlines
I have a travel plan this summer and I'm wondering if I can get "in trouble" for it.
I'm going from HKG to JFK on June 17 and returning late July. I'm booked on Asiana.
On June 21 I may have to fly from BOS or PVD to PVG, and then return on July 3. During those 2 weeks I'll probably fly SHA/HKG/SHA.
My plan was to fly BOS/PVG/BOS on UA and SHA/HKG/SHA on a domestic Chinese airline, probably CZ.
Z fares all the way.
I'm concerned about the back to back nature of the Asiana and UA flights. Might one or both of those object to my flights? Can they even see that I'm doing it? Would it be better if I changed from UA to AA so I get out of * Alliance?
TIA.

I wouldn't worry about it. Airlines rarely enforce it when it's all on their own flights - and I doubt they'd even know about it on another airline. And as long as you're not doing it for the purpose of circumventing fare rules, you're not even doing anything remotely wrong.

As the OP's concern is about several carriers, I'll move this to TravelBuzz. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator.

UA and Asiana will not know what you are doing on the other: no need to change out of * Alliance.
