@YuropFlyer
Thanks a lot YuropFlyer... For the time you spent and the details you provided in your reply...
the thing is, Paris is NOT a *A hub, as France is Skyteam-country.
Yeah.. I know that... I'd love to find a alliance with companies like JetBLues and AerLingus, because most of the time, those are the flights I booked. But unfortunately, they don't belong to an alliance as most of the lowcost companies...
Until now, I never used AirFrance, always more expensive than other airlines. Am I wrong ?
I could use AirIberia for transatlantic flights... but I had too many pbs with them
So I thought LH would be a good compromise...
And yeah, everyone talk about the A3 program where Gold status seems very easy to acquire... seems like a good trick... but it feels weird to me to go with them when I never book any of their flights... but may be it's the good way to go !
Here, the US carriers are probably better - as you're going to have some transcontinental flights, where US carriers still give out some free domestic upgrades (I'll never understand the concept behind this, but that's apparently how things work in the US) - for their own elite customers.
Which one would you recommend ?
As you won't have THAT much of flying,
Did not get that part. Right now, I plan to do a USA-FRA back and forth trip every month. Even if I do it only 7 times in a year, I'm already above 50k. What's wrong with my arithmetic ?
To cut it short:
A3 *G first
Whatever US program you think their metal you'll be flying for those long transcontinental flights (United?)
Last Question for this post... if I get a first G card with for instance A3, then a second one for transcontinental flight, will my miles be accumulated on the same account ?
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Best,
