Hi All,

I need advice on what Star Alliance program to join. I’m based in MOW these days, doing much of my flying to LHR. I’ve been basically flying BA and AY and some AA and am a BA Gold (520 TP) and AA Plat (22,601 EQP).

I also have accounts with UA (no status, 120K or so miles) and BD (something like 3K miles).

I’m currently planning a trip MOW-SIN-HKG and back for business and was told SQ’s business product is the best, to have decided to take them. I don’t want to waste my mileage earning opportunities, so am going to credit this to a *Alliance program, but just don’t know what the best one would be.

I basically fly MOW-LON 2-3x a month in flexible Y, 2-3 times to NYC every year (mostly redemptions or cheap business fares), a few times a year to HEL and ARN. I also do 2-3 trips a year to the Russian regions on SU. I’ll hopefully do more Asia travel, but only likely next calendar year.

I want the ability to redeem miles for premium cabins and especially want access to good lounges (one of my main reasons for loyalty to BA).

What program should I focus on within Star?

Thanks in advance.
