Hi all

I've done a search on *Awards and the various FF programmes, however I'm still at a loss as to what to do and which one is best.

I'll be taking my first *Alliance flight this Sunday (with Thai) and they have comped me to Gold based on my OneWorld status. (Thank you to Thai - wonderful people who handled my request and got approval same day!)

Anyways - I then had a look at the reward charts for *Alliance (ie as distinct from the rewards limited to the airline whoes programme you are a part of) and see that someone like Mexicana has a much lower *A redemption level for flights than TG. Are these charts going to be standardised at some point?

Question 2: should I look at joining another *A programme if a reward between Europe and North America in F is 40,000 miles less?

My upcoming flights will all be TG First.

If your advice is to join another programme (and I do feel a little bad about asking this question because TG have gone out of their way to comp me status) - how do I manage the process? Do I take my TG FF number out of my bookings, save the boarding passes and then send them to a new programme?

All advice, as always, much appreciated.

Cheers in advance

WG
