如何”保留“里程票
很多时候，我们大家计划行程并不能马上做出决定，总是需要这样或那样的改动。可以临时的保留预定，给自己多几天的思考总是好过要马上拍脑袋做决定。 除此之外，如果整个行程的某段暂时没有票，能临时保留其它航段的机票然后期望剩下的航段几天能再放出票也是好的。 但是这样的好待遇并不是每个公司都有的，下面我就对我所了解的做一个总结。以下的公司是指里程的使用公司 1国航，国航自己的航班和客服说说，一般保留个个把日子问题不大，但是兑换星盟的航班，找个搞的明白的客服都看人品 2东航，东航电话上的定位一般可以保留个几天，国内线的要求比国际线松的多。 3 南航，南航自己航班电话上可以保留24个小时 4 海航，可以保留几天，和客服商量 5 US Airways 使用US airways的里程时，里程票可以在电话上保留72小时。但有些客服会不保留含有国航的行程，遇见这样的情况，可以叫客服拿掉国航那一段，保留其余的。 6 汉莎 新的汉莎系统换星盟要马上出票了，换自己可以保留72小时 7 美联航 按规则说，美联航的里程除非账户里没有足够的里程，否则不可以保留。但是，实际上有个后门，这个在我的新美联航兑换手册里有说明 8 加拿大航空 很遗憾，不可以保留，必须马上出票 9…

周末简讯
现在播报简讯 1 哥伦比亚的Avianca航空公司和中美洲的TACA and Copa于6月21日正式加入的星空联盟, 这对极有可能失去南美的TAM航空的星空联盟是个很重要的补充。而从我们的奖励票兑换的角度，由于哥伦比亚的Avianca航空燃油附加税，这对使用例如汉莎，国航，爱琴海航空，新加坡航空这些收取燃油税的航空公司里程是个很大利好。 2 法航荷兰航空的7月8月的对折对换又出来了，这次中国只有成都和厦门在榜上。请注意，法航Flyingblue里程兑换机票燃油税很重 3 凯悦金护照计划8月31日之前买积分送最多额外30%， 一个账户一年最多可以买40000分（不算额外奖励），费用为960美金，但是兑换像马尔代夫，莫斯科，悉尼柏悦的楼王只需每晚22000分 4 US airways卖里程优惠截止日期为6月30日，但是如果你还没有注册账户的话，已经来不及了。 简讯播报完毕。
