Hi FlyerTalk,

I'm a travelling producer/dj. I'm very new to the frequent flying, but I've just realized I should be a) collecting FF mileage and b) buying my tickets with a FF credit card.

As I'm new, I've been combing these forums a bit, but I'm seeking your knowledge as my scenario might be a bit tricky.

When I work, I usually leave from DFW (Dallas, TX), about half the month (3 to 9 flights), sometimes American but most often European destinations (usually operated by *Alliance airlines), and flight upgrades and reward/redemption is most important to me. So far, I've found out I am flying a lot of Luftansa, SAS, United and USAirways. Very rarely Delta or British Airways/KLM. (And I greatly dislike American Airlines!)

What do you think I should do?

Feedback most appreicated.

Lionel
