Who did you fly to Singapore? You might have status and/or points that would be nice. - spamlet Nov 6, 11:01 3
- Welp.. I do have United points, but I've pretty much zeroed out that account with a trip. So I'm up for whatever. -- nm - colin Nov 6, 11:04 2
  - If you fly VA, you can credit either to VA or Delta, I assume. -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 11:12
  - If you don't have status and don't anticipate flying them again, forget it. -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 11:05
Economy is basically economy so I'd go with a non-stop (I assume that Virgin, Delta, and British Airways from ATL) - ty97 Nov 6, 10:54 14
- It looks like VA flights in the 4000s (eg VA 4044, VA 4038) are Delta operated. VA 104 is VA operated. -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 10:58 13
  - Quick, what are the AA codeshare codes with Cathay? - spamlet Nov 6, 11:05 9
    - I think those are in the 8000s - ty97 Nov 6, 11:10 6
      - Yeah, I always make sure to get the AA codeshare on Cathay flights. - spamlet Nov 6, 11:13 5

        That's an odd routing for you, no? - spamlet Nov 6, 11:28 3
        
        JFK-HKG is CX operated, can't use the eVIP to upgrade. -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 11:31

        Ah -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 11:33
    - this should be a whole thread .. "Stump TY!" -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 11:06 1
      - unpossible! -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 11:25
  - ah, good to know. i was wondering that. -- nm - colin Nov 6, 10:58 2
    - They are allowed to cooperate, so they sometimes trade who operates a certain flight. - ty97 Nov 6, 11:00 1
      - ok, cool. shipping a bike was going to be almost a grand, so we're trying to find an airline that's cheaper with bike. Virgin is free, so that's goo -- nm - colin Nov 6, 11:02
oh good, ty is here. he'll know :) -- nm - colin Nov 6, 10:51
