From which cities to the fly to those locations?
If you fly from NYC to these destinations you would have enough miles to qualify for MVP anyways. Would have been nice if the promo was plus X amount of qualifying miles instead.
Can I use a companion pass and get status for both?,
Dan-Can you really fly from US49 with Alaska to Sydney, I have found very few destinations where it isn’t codeshare (and nothing on east coast).
Yes, with Hawaiian.
