No fuel surcharges when redeeming ANA miles on United: Similar to British Airways, ANA offers distance-based awards and these rates apply to awards on their partners such as United and Virgin Atlantic. Normally there are hefty fuel surcharges but recently ANA has stopped charging these for when redeeming on United specifically. As a reminder All Nippon Airways’ Mileage Club program is transfer partners with both American Express Membership Rewards and Starwood Preferred Guest, so if you have points in either of those programs, you might want to consider transferring to ANA. ANA allows four stopovers on an award itinerary which can further maximize how much value you’ll receive when using miles.  Hat Tip: One Mile at at Time

US Airways Partnership With Virgin Atlantic Ends June 11: After June 11, 2013, Dividend Miles members will no longer be able to accrue or redeem miles on Virgin Atlantic.

You may submit all requests for retroactive miles before December 11, 2013. Dividend Miles members traveling on Virgin Atlantic will accrue based on the actual miles flown. Codeshare flights with Virgin Atlantic flight numbers but operated by another airline will accrue miles based on the operating carrier’s agreement with US Airways. The booking class that appears on your ticket may differ from the class used to calculate your mileage earned. Double check with Virgin Atlantic if you have questions about your booking class. Miles earned do count toward Preferred status. Hat Tip: View from the Wing.
