Your best option is joining the FFP of the operating carrier that you are flying, that gives you the best shot at op-ups.

Alternatively, if you can choose any *A carrier that will get you *G with under 25k a year, like A3, TK, OZ, etc... This generally gets you improved service, and guaranteed lounge access (for a non-US FFP)...

I personally am a member of A3's FFP, and I am very happy with it^

Thanks for your reply. My domestic trips tend to be on US, while my international trips tend to be on UA or a UA codeshare. Are people generally happier with one or the other when it comes to US vs. UA?

Interesting thought about another *A plan. How are the redemption options--good for any *A member?
