I will be making roundtrips between BTR/MSY and RDU every month for the next year. I will also be making 2 trips per year to BNA and one trip to PHX and one trip to BWI. I am sure that there will be an obscure short trip thrown in there too. I am currently with AAdvantage, but am considering finding a loyalty program that will allow for maximum upgrades and cross alliance opportunities. I am not against making a MSY-MIA-ORD-RDU-DCA-MIA-MSY jaunt each trip if it means that I can reach elite status quickly. I have considered a challenge, but considering my travels are not condensed, I am not sure that I could reach my goal. Please help me find a program that will maximize my chances to get status.
