To clearify, I want to find the program that is easiest to reach highest tier. I dont mind flying a few longhaul C trips with a specific airline to achieve this.
For instance, to get *A Gold with SK you only need 50K miles if you live in the UK. This is achievalbe by doing approx. two longhaul return trips in C.
What would be the equivilent program to choose in OW?
Any ideas?
Are you based in the UK? Reason for asking is that if you happen to be based in Europe but not the UK, British Airways has a much more favorable (lenient) requirement for elite status progression than it does for those with UK (or N. America) addresses. Elite progression is based on "tier points" which reflect distance + class of service, not just mileage.
