Help -- making res to London, can I use United / BA?
Business class is booked on USAir flying out to London. Can I book United or British Airways yet still get USAir Preferred miles for it?

If you fly United on a paid business class ticket and credit the flights to your Dividend Miles account they do count as PQM (preferred qualifying).
Note, however, if you are flying a Z-fare (discount business fare) you will not earn any COS (class-of-service bonus). Z fares on US earn 150% of the miles flown while on UA they only earn actual (100%) miles flown.
Also, US and BA have NO frequent flier relationship.

Thanks -- do I just enter my USAir number in the United FF box or do I have to tell them I have a USAir number I want credit for?

If you book online, you should be able to add your US Airways Dividend Miles number...
