Greetings all,
A friend of mine will be doing a medical rotation this August-September in Lusaka. At this point she is not a member of any FF program, basically a clean slate. She will most likely be departing from ORD. My question is, if you were starting from this clean slate but knowing what you know now about maximizing miles, where would you start? Any particular alliance that she should focus on? Any particular routing? I thought given the ORD departure perhaps UA might be the best choice for her.
Seeing as she will be reimbursed for travel costs (economy seats only) should she get a UA explorer card? Chase Sapphire? Which of those, or others could she look at to help her get the most benefit from this trip?
I apologize if this is the wrong forum to be posting in, and if so, please move to the proper place. Thanks in advance for any response!
