*Urgent* - re US Airways Dividend Miles
Hi everyone, I know this should go in bcworld's thread but my head's in bits and I need some help urgently.
We had a call from Liverpool UK this morning, my husband's brother has deteriorated and is dying. I need to get Bill to the UK quickly with my US airways dividend miles. Seached availability and there are first class seats available on Emirates, but when I rang the US airways direct reservations line she said that they are not in One World - I was sure that they are and asked her to check, she did and came back and confirmed they're not. Could anyone advise if US Airways are in the One World alliance? I could start searching for Star Alliance flights but the Emirates ones were perfect, only one stop over in Dubai and he would be driven to Liverpool from Manchester, which would help him right now. Thanks so much, |

Re: *Urgent* - re US Airways Dividend Miles
sorry to hear of your circumstances, pretty shitty situation.
redemption on Emirates would not be applicable as they're not a member of *Alliance nor oneworld. they're only an affiliate of Qantas, not a member of either alliance. |

Re: *Urgent* - re US Airways Dividend Miles
if timing is of the essence dont discount paying your way PER > SIN/BKK/NRT/PVG (eg: *A hubs) and then searching those hubs into the UK.
probably won't be the most cost effective though. |

US Airways are not in oneworld.
http://www.oneworld.com/member-airli...8111BA7FB2FC52 There is a merger proposal between US Airways and American Airlines (oneworld). IF this completes, the new airline will be called American Airlines and will be part of oneworld. http://newamericanarriving.com/custo...onal-benefits/ In the meantime, US Airways remains a member of Star Alliance. http://www.staralliance.com/en/ |

Leave Perth Monday morning, get into Manchester Tuesday morning. I hope it's soon enough, couldn't get anything before then. |

Update - Bill arrived in Liverpool yesterday and his brother was so happy to see him. He has refused to be transferred to a hospice so is going home today.

Sorry to hear your bad news.
Can I ask if the cost were worth joining US Dividend miles? Thanks Neil. So around AU3,600 for return business, Perth - UK - Perth. We used to fly Emirates, which are now running at around AU$7,700. That got very expensive, very quickly! You'll find heaps of info on bcworld's thread. |
