(7) MOST IMPORTANT: upgrades on travel and free lounge access
I realise I've made the mistake of not consolidating my air miles in the past - ready to be loyal to one airline, but not sure which. Thinking BA since I'm flying out of LHR...?
So grateful for this forum! Thanks in advance.
Welcome to FT!
I dont know anything about the BA program. You could ask in the OneWorld forum. They have a similar thread as well.
However, for your flying patterns: Lufthansa / United will offer you quite a bit of value.
Being Europe based (and not in Germany), I would suggest Lufthansa in the Star Alliance.
I would suggest you to read about the United and Lufthansa programs and compare with the BA program. Then make a choice.
Yes, its much better to consolidate in one program, especially when you are flying 100K miles a year.
The benefits will be great.
