Hi,
I make about four AMS-MEX-AMS flights a year; I tend to use KLM, and Continental indistinctly (I go for the lower price I can find) hence my frequent flyer (FF) miles account seems to be stuck and not growing very much.
Therefore, I was wondering which FF programme should I opt to consolidate my miles with. Not that the airline industry is eagerly giving away free flights/upgrades, but KLM seems to be particularly stringent with their miles.
Should I opt for KLM and their stingy Flying Blue programme (AMS has became a somewhat frequented airport by me and perhaps will become my home airport) or should I opt for Delta's Sky Miles (MEX is my home airport)? Should I even consider Aeromexico's (AM) Club Premier (75% miles when booking in V,L,W, and P) even though I almost never fly with them? Or should I stay within the Star Alliance's realms and stick to Continental's OnePass?
I hope that my question is not too 
.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Moderators: Is this the adequate forum to post this question? Feel free to move it to the appropriate one.
Take a look at the frequent flyer programs of Aegean Airlines, Turkish Airlines, and Asiana Airlines. While you may not fly these airlines, if the fare class you book credits miles, you will get status. So, you can get lounge access and other perks through these airlines.
It's
really important to check that the fare class you book earns miles
on the program you pick before you book though.
