AA, BA or LA
Hi everyone,
I need a pice of adivce from all of you.
I live in Argentina and I fly frequently, 3 or 4 trips per year, to USA or Central America (AA or LA) and then 2 or 3 trips within Argentina (LA), and 1 trip every two years with IB. All of them economy discounted.
I have been an Executive Club member for almost 4 or 5 years. I have earned within my Household account almost 200K points. But I'm beeing scared by the fact that it it very hard to get AA or LA award tickets to USA with BA points and the taxes that BA chrges for award flights with them are understandably high, but I like the option of having a household account as each of my family members don't accrue a lor of points by them alone.
LA FFP does not really catch my attention and I have some miles with AA, not much.
On January I'm going on a trip to USA flying with LA and AA.
What do you recommend? Staying with BA and try finding an award, changing to AA or LA?
Thank you very much.
