I am silver with United and I just booked a flight on alliance partner Air India. Will I automatically get PQM and PQD and can I get upgraded to preferential seating for free?

Yes to first question about pqm/d, no to second about seating. Air india is the fucking worst, take a seat cover, your own pillow, & your own food. Not joking, you’ll thank me later

Huh. Unless you booked the flight from United.com and the carrier is AI, then yes. Otherwise, no. And you should keep an eye. I didn’t get Jet Airways miles on Delta till I called.

Air India blows. Come prepared for a tough time. You will prob get PQD, but doubt about the seating. Good luck.

You should get PQM and PQD if it’s a United ticket (i.e., ticket number starts with 016). Otherwise PQM only. You won’t see any free upgrades on Alliance partners

No PQD unless booked via United

Just used a meaningful amount of AMEX points for the first time to buy flights to Greece for my wife and I.

This is on the 777 which isn’t the best business class product out there, but I’ve never flown international outside of coach and think it will still be worthwhile. Think this is an OK redemption?
