Sigh...another case of blocking. Tried to change my IAD-FRA flight to IAD-MUC but only economy available according to 1K line. ANA tool shows F & C availability...
But of course I was offered help with getting a Hertz car!

Are the NZ001/NZ002 flights between LAX and LHR still permanently Starnet blocked?

Starnet blocking is dead, at least for now.
If you find a flight is blocked, simply transfer all your miles over to CO.
NZ 1&2 hasn't been blocked since last summer.

Hi Everyone, as most of you know, United Mileage Plus and Continental OnePass will continue to operate separately until we until they’re combined in 2012. As a result, we’ve received requests from members to be able to transfer miles and combine Elite earnings between accounts. Today, we’re pleased to give you, our power-users, a sneak preview of our new self-service tools that do just that.
Specifically, you can:
As usual, we’re grateful for the feedback and your patience during this prototype stage. Enjoy!

Specifically, you can:
- Transfer redeemable miles between your OnePass and Mileage Plus accounts. Give it a spin at united.com/transfermymiles or continental.com/transfermymiles (both take you to the same place).
- Match Elite status and combine Elite earnings for your OnePass and Mileage Plus accounts. For those of you who have Elite Qualification miles and segments/points in both OnePass and Mileage Plus, you can now combine these earnings to earn Elite status, Regional Upgrades and Systemwide Upgrades. Go to united.com/combinemyactivity or continental.com/combinemyactivity for all the details.

Lufthansa transatlantic blocking is back. This is just idiotic, given that you can transfer miles to Continental...
