Reply To: Using Amex companion voucher to OneWorld (not BA) destination

[RK228]

Shanghai, another BA destination, is also very close to South Korea, so might be useful to keep in mind. We flew to PVG on a 241, stayed for a few days, and then used a cash ticket on KE to get to PUS (just over an hour flight time). I was impressed with KE and, although it was a reasonably priced cash ticket, they still allowed changes or cancellations for a modest fee, so not unlike an Avios booking (perhaps even better because not limited to reward availability). We ended up moving our flight 5 days earlier and it was easy to do via their website.
