I wasn't sure from your answer - in your opinion, with award travel as a first priority, UA will be the best choice?

Thanks for your help,

UA = United ..Indeed!

The two mileage programs are already merging (CO and UA). In essence it really does not matter at this moment as to which program you put the miles in. The CO and UA miles can be transferred between the two programs freely. There is a huge discussion in the following thread:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...-tools-69.html

CO has generally been better with partner-airline award inventory compared to UA.
However, CO is stingy with its own inventory.

But, as i said, it does not matter. Since you can transfer miles between the two programs if you find an award in one program and not the other.

Belated welcome to FT!
Enjoy the conversations!
