Frequent Flier Partnerships
 

This may be a silly question to all you experienced travelers, I am flying on Continental airlines but would like the miles posted to my Northwest Airlines account. When I check in do I just need to give them my NWA account number?

I use my NWA card for Continental flights. Just tell them you want the miles on the NWA card instead of Continental. Also, you can use the continental club lounges if you are a member of world clubs.

Piggy-backing a question here: Does anyone know if Helmsley Hotels partner with any airlines for FF programs?

Not a silly question at all. I don't even have a Continental FF account -- whenever I fly them I always use my NW WorldPerks number. (Not that I like NW better, really, it's just that I joined NW's FF program first and never saw any reason to join Continental's, too).

The Helmsey does not offer any frequent flyer programs.
