Mileage

Oneworld

British Airways issues tickets in booking class K for short haul flight and booking class T for premium economy segments. Interestingly, the short haul flight takes place in a discounted booking class, while long haul flights yield at least 100% of traveled distance in award mileage. The following example covers a Stockholm to Los Angeles roundtrip:

According to British Airways, all short haul segment are worth 10 tier points each. Long haul segments to U.S. destinations yield 90 tier points in each direction, totaling in 200 tier points for a roundtrip from Sweden. This is a third of what is needed to reach Oneworld Sapphire status.

SkyTeam

Air France/KLM should issue their tickets in booking class A for long-haul flights in Premium Economy, short-haul segments will be in booking class Y. Both will get you an earning rate of 100% with most SkyTeam frequent traveler programs. Same example as above:

Star Alliance

When flying Star Alliance, your booking class will depend on the carrier you choose. While most of the European short-haul flights will be in booking class Y, tickets for long-haul Premium Economy Class flights will be issued for example in R (United) or N (Austrian, Lufthansa).

Information & Tips for USA

The United States offers a wide range of tourist sights, from national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), and card payments are widely accepted. Prices vary by region but can be high in major cities, especially for accommodation and dining. Weather differs greatly across the country—winters can be harsh in the north, while the south often stays mild; summers are generally hot and humid in many areas.

The U.S. transport infrastructure is highly car-dependent, especially outside major cities. Urban centres like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have functional public transit, but many other cities have limited options. Between cities, domestic flights are common for long distances, while intercity buses and Amtrak trains cover some routes, though often with slower speeds and less frequency compared to other countries. Without a car, getting around can be inconvenient in many parts of the country.
