I saw the Aegean *A quick path to Gold. Could that work for me, or am I better off with Continential etc? thanks!
If you are unsure whether you will get to 50K or not, CO/UA does not make sense. Stick to A3.
Also, you seem to get your miles more by flying to Europe. In this case, CO/UA is not going to give you any free upgrades, etc. All you need is status to use the lounge, etc.
