美联航和达美-两个送你半张机票的常客计划

写了这么久博客了,相信大家都知道每个常客计划在兑换的时候停留和开口程 规定都是不一样的,有些计划允许一次停留或一次开口程,例如US airways, 而有些计划是按照总飞行路线计算,中间可多次停留,例如AA的 explorer award, 而有些计划则允许一次停留+一次开口例如美联航,达美。而加拿大航空则甚至允许2个停留加一个开口。

看不明白什么叫停留,什么叫开口的,请仔细阅读基础知识文章

在上面提到的这些兑换中,由于美联航和达美允许一个开口+一个停留,且这个停留还可以是原来的起点城市,所以等于是可以白送出一张单程机票的,这是怎么一回事儿呢?

1 美联航

中国到日本,里程兑换为经济舱往返是2万英里,且允许一个停留+一个开口,那么在网上就可以操作下面的预订

北京-大阪(终点)-北京(停留点)-拉萨(反向开口程)

等于你去大阪玩儿了一圈,然后再去西藏。由于美联航里程兑换票可以随便改期(21天之内改期要收最多75美金的手续费),所以最后北京-西藏的单程你可以随便改。

美联航里程可以最多11个航段,更多的美联航具体操作手册请阅读这篇早期的兑换手册

2 达美

达美和美联航有很多的共同点,但是区别就是,很多不能网上预订,请各位先阅读早期达美兑换手册,在具体操作中

先在达美网站上搜索行程,保留住行程,打电话给达美的客服加上后面的航段, 当然有些例如像法航,荷航的机票本身就可以在网上兑换,所以你可以直接在网上玩儿出这样的行程。

The image is a screenshot of a flight booking confirmation page. It lists selected flights with details including dates, times, departure and arrival locations, flight numbers, and durations. The flights are as follows:

1. Outbound flight on Tuesday, May 14, 2013:
   - Departure: 1:35 PM from CDG (Paris Charles de Gaulle)
   - Arrival: 10:10 PM at DXB (Dubai)
   - Flight: Air France 3830, Nonstop, Duration: 6 hours 35 minutes, Business class
   - Options to view seats and baggage information

2. Return flight on Tuesday, May 21, 2013:
   - Departure: 12:40 AM from DXB (Dubai)
   - Arrival: 5:50 AM at CDG (Paris Charles de Gaulle)
   - Flight: Air France 3831, Nonstop, Duration: 7 hours 10 minutes, Business class

   - Departure: 7:20 AM from CDG (Paris Charles de Gaulle)
   - Arrival: 8:40 AM at AMS (Amsterdam)
   - Flight: Air France 1240, Nonstop, Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes, Business class
   - Options to view seats and baggage information

The page also includes notes about baggage fees, in

但是,达美后续的每次改票需要每次150美金的手续费。可即使有这样的改期费,有些行程还是很值得的

3美国航空

朋友们提到美国航空也可以,是的,但情况比较特殊。美国航空的里程兑换机票一般情况下是不允许免费的Stopover的,除了在跨大州兑换时只允许在北美第一个,或是最后一个入境城市获得免费停留。举例:你兑换的是洛杉矶到达拉斯到多伦多到伦敦, 你可以停留的城市是多伦多。其它区域之间的兑换均不允许停留

加拿大航空

虽然加拿大航空可以有两次停留+开口程,但是,加航很多行程不是电脑计算,所以比较难说服客服你在自己的出发城市作为一个停留使用。

希望大家有个愉快的旅行。

  1. 谢谢刘总的提示,给了我们很多启发。关于加航那段,是不是可以反过来用就避免客服不给你出发城市作停留?
    例如:lxa-pek(停留)-lax-pek; 也就是说,先用那半张票。

  2. 另外,想问问刘总关于美联航的问题,在国内,除了飞以外,还有什么办法可以积累UA的里程呢?

  3. @Troy
    刘总,好像CTU到日本来回再加上拉萨就不行,是因为CTU过去没有直飞么?

  4. UA 订了一段。。。最后的单程可以改目的地吗?也是21天免费?

  5. 刘总,加拿大航空网上已经无法兑换一个停留+一个开口了
    如 pek-icn;icn-spn;spn-pvg
    或pek-icn;icn-spn;gum-pek都不行,只能一个停留or一个开口
    电话应该可以。

  6. 起飞后还能改么?谢谢!
    UA以前可以现在不知道,US不行,DL呢?

  7. 搞了UA的PEK-SFO-PEK-LJG,PEK-LJG在国庆,直接订票是全价,哈哈,不错。

  8. 劉總好。我是你的新粉絲。想問個問題。最近網上訂酒店機票比較頻繁,有通過ctrip的,有通過第三方酒店網站如hotels,也有直接在AA網上訂機票,突然想到個問題,除了這些網站本身的積分外,我的信用卡網上交易算積分嗎?之前拜讀過您關於信用卡及第三方網站的文章,手邊現有建行白金卡,交行東航聯名金卡(白金要年費),和打算申請的招行商運通(支付寶用)。請問您知道那種卡可以產生網上交易的積分?因為金額蠻大的,所以小貪心了。。。祝好,盼回復!

  9. @猪猪姑姑,有些卡算。招商那个就算。什么网上的都算。广发的也算。

  10. 招行的那個是商運通,不過我看很多網上以visa和mastercard居多麼~確定可以的話我就去辦了。

  11. 关于美国航空,是不是只有北美洲的才有停留呢?其他跨洲的兑换是不是没有,例如AA从上海去埃及,可能的路线是上海-香港-安曼-开罗,或者上海-阿布扎比-开罗,这种情况下可以在安曼或者阿布扎比停留么?

  12. 我也還有個問題。如果去istanbul,買US積分換,可以走經過埃及最後終點是istanbul的路線,而只算歐洲分嗎?(經濟艙6萬)

  13. @猪猪古古,理论上不行,但不能忽悠。你不需要和客服过多解释,一段一段报航段就好

  14. 请问UA从北亚飞日本有办法在南亚转吗?
    ex. PVG-SIN-GMP-HND, NRT-HKG-PVG这样的行程有办法用40K miles换公务舱吗?
    打去问客服 客服说这样要开两张单程票 PVG-SIN-GMP-HND这段就40k NRT-HKG-PVG这段20k
    我是一个一个航段报航次给他的 该怎么跟客服沟通比较好?

  15. 刘总,有两个问题想请教一下

    1.请问一下下面的行程是否能出票: 杭州-台北-上海-杭州 (1个停留)

    HGH-TPE;
    TPE-PVG;
    PVG-PEK(less than 24 hours)-NRT(less than 24 hours)-HGH

    2. NRT-HGH部分no show,接AA: NRT-LAX,能否用日本过境签证入境约20小时

    多谢!

  16. 理论上同一个区不能停留,但一切尽在忽悠;
    另外USairways可以开口,完全没必要订最后一段。
    敬请刘总指正

  17. 刘总,请教一下,这个能用AC出么?2个stopover+一个open jaw,有最大里程限制么?

    PEK-SIN
    SIN-BKK
    BKK-KBV
    KBV-BKK-PEK-PVG

  18. 刘总,我试了你这个PEK-KIX-PEK-LAX,好像行不通阿。选了PEK-KIX的航班后,KIX-PEK直飞的不直飞的,不管怎么选,联航网上都会出错。最后,这个形程,怎么会2万里程了呢?看起来更像北京到美国的单程阿?
