This has been my experience too. It seems status does not carry over to the second leg of the journey when you fly a partner airline. In my case, I flew Chicago to Zurich on business class (upgraded from Economy) and after quite an ordeal (over phone) and at the desk, they refused to upgrade me on my next flight (Swiss Air - Zurich -Mumbai). You need to plan for the upgrade in advance. During my return journey, I paid additional to get upgraded to business from Mumbai to Frankfurt on Luftansa.

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

Has anyone traveled on Fly Norse? I am wondering if they're a good airline to fly on? I have to travel to the UK from the US and they've got some really awesome ticket prices which the other known carriers would never offer, but I am worried about travelling as they're a relatively new airline. Thoughts?

For those who have started traveling again... I recently started flying for work and am noticing increased discrimination on Delta Airlines. As a brown person have experienced that in the past, but lately it’s blatant. I’m a diamond and a million miler however, I see more and more out of turn upgrades. Have you experienced and what dis you do about it?
