this is all very complicated especially as you need to look at both earn and burn rates in the respective programmes.
So in the next 6 months I have the following travel booked
2 x SIN-LHR in F Class (SQ) *A
1 x CMB-BKK-RGN in J Class (TG) *A
1 x MLE-CMB in J Class (UL)
2 x RGN-KUL-SIN in J Class (MH)
I'm thinking of joining ML program Enrich for UL and MH bookings (as ML are joining OW soon and i can'r find a better place for them?).
I have many Avios (400k+) so it's likely I'd be using those to get to the Far East (BKK/SIN/ICN) in a premium cabin (so will have lounge access) and then *A (TG/SQ) to get to one of the islands for a nice beach break.
I can easily make Blue (*Silver) on Aegean with these flights (total of 15,396 miles flown - I assume tier points are just base miles?) but in the earn/burn rate the best as my SQ F flights will only earn 150% of miles flown whereas in M&M they would earn 300% - help !!!!
