Redemption: YUL-HNL vs EWR-HNL
I was able to make an award booking for EWR-HNL via SFO via TK's online portal (i.e. 7500 miles on UA on Y class and unable to redeem J online). This was the only route that I can redeem online via the Star Alliance Award Booking Portal.
When I asked about YUL-YVR-HNL on AC, I was quoted 10,000 miles for Y and 15,000 for J. Is it cheaper to redeem UA compared to AC? Since technically COVID is going on, I would prefer to travel on the Canadian side to make things less complicated since I reside in Canada. Anyone also did a stopover award booking, seems a good candidate to stop in YYC as they have replaced rapid testing instead of 14-day mandatory quarantine? Is it also the same 7500/10000 miles? |
EWR-HNL is within the same country so 7500 miles one-way, YUL-HNL is not within the country so it's 10000 miles one-way.
UPDATED PART STARTS HERE It's 7500/12500 miles for Economy/Business Class respectively for flights within the same country. It's 10000/15000 miles for Economy/Business Class respectively for flights between North America and North America The English version of the page does not indicate the same country chart. UPDATED PART ENDS HERE Also, as mentioned in the *A award thread, the online booking tool does not work for all available flights so it's not unusual not to see all the 'X' and 'I' fare award inventory through the TK website tool. You could alternatively check availability at a website of another *A partner and then call the TK hotline or contact a sales office if you are seeing 'X' and 'I' fare availability. For the stopover award booking, I am not sure about how it works but it's definitely not bookable online.

It doesn't say whether I can change my base! But this is something really contingent on my friends and whether if in January whether the cases are still the same! |
