Comparing *A FFPs not straightforward
I'm trying to up my status on BD, bearing in mind I have quite a bit of travel to do this year. I've decided on BD as I do fly with them regularly, albeit short LHR-DUB mostly. However, since I was going to make some flights on United, I decided to look at the E+ upgrade options, which required me to join UA's MP programme. I had a look around and found that the earning tables can be very different to BMI's. For example I have an DUB-FRA booked in W in Sept. This will earn 50% with BMI, but 100% with UA. I've had a quick look through other UA tables, and there are some differences. There are 50% bonuses on transatlantic flights on LH, for example. And most BD flights book in at 100%. This means that qualification thresholds aren't as straightforward to judge as first seems. I know this is probably common knowledge, but has anyone come up with a tool that compares *A FFPs for a given flight class and airline? I might credit some of my shorter flights to UA instead of BMI.
