I'm learning) memberships have lost all status and I've used (or expired) most of my existing miles, so effectively starting from scratch. I'll be flying between NZ and Europe once/twice a year (discount economy) plus a fair few domestic/intra-Europe flights. I won't be clocking up all that many miles (I reckon about 20 - 25,000 annually) so am not too bothered about redemption but *G status would be very useful (so that I don't need lounge passes in future).
Am I right in thinking that Asiana is probably the best club for me, what with only requiring 40,000 miles over 2 years to get *G?
Thank you experts - I have no idea where you find the time!
Welcome to FT,
NZwino!
There are many threads here which deal with your question. Some even form the last few days. OZ is a good program for status as well as TK or AC. OZ is really bad in terms of redemption however, the website is shocking and their FFP support inexistent.
One thing to consider is that many booking classes on NZ don't get any miles on many *A programs other than NZs own. So you need to check the OZ website and see whether you really would be getting miles at all for your flights.
