Kingfisher is clearly not an option; that leaves me with the option of either doing the above - OR - signing up for Krisflyer to try for *A status - OR - crediting this to M&M where I have very few miles (basically 1 DEL-MUN-DEL in Y). Does the fact that I'm gonna be in UK for a year make any difference to this decision (I could be flying BA or LH for intra-Europe travel)?
Have absolutely no clue how stuff works outside of AoI; firangi travel veterans - pls help. Should I go with 9W only?
which booking class are you going with? if you are after status, the easiest way to get *Gold is to go and sign up for aegean airlines mileage program which offers *aG at 20k elite miles, out of which they credit 1k on signup themselves.
other *a partners include thai, turkish which have relatively easy requirements.
if you're going after miles, then air india is your other option.
