Thanks for the enlightenment...man...now I'm thinking again...

I normally like to fly Korean Air and have a Delta mileage card...I always fly codeshare on KAL for Delta. I always got the 50% bonus EQM miles and that made things a lot easier to rack it up.

Unfortunately, I'm new to Star Alliance. I thought I saw that as you level up you do get the 50% EQM miles (I fly mostly Y class fares) and then additional bonus miles for usage. is the EQM auto matic then?? Caues Asiana is definitely not giving me any additional EQM miles...

I've also been reading that UA is pretty good about upgrading seats...I really haven't heard much about asiana...I think I will be flying more united flights 2:1 than Asiana when flying back to the States

man...I'm flying out to hawaii from seoul this weekend on a united flight...

I really wish I could just fly KAL...makes things easier...

i'm all ears if anyone has any more advice. Anyone actually have an Asiana membership and can talk about how much they like it???
