However, if you want upgrades instead of lounge access (if you are flying transcons, i would upgrades over lounge access, if you are flying midcons or short hops, I'd suggest lounge access...), I'd say go for United Mileage Plus, because you get E+/UDU when flying.
I originally asked in another thread where to post my question and I was directed here. I just realized this is only for star alliance airlines and I had not narrowed it down that far yet. I am open to any airline for travel, is there somewhere else I should post or could anyone tell me if *A is, in fact, the best option for me?
As of now, I don't know if most of my flights will be transcon, midcon or short hops, or even if there will be a regular flight length. Not knowing this, should I go for A3 or United Mileage Plus? By the way, it doesn't matter that I won't be flying A3, I can still rack up miles by joining their program?
Thanks!
