Need to change *A program post UA FF changes
Have been a long time UA MPlus member, but considering shifting to another *G program (TG/SQ/Asiana/others ?) because of proposed 2014 changes in UA and I hardly fly UA in this part of the world. Was living in the US until 2010 and have racked about 600k lifetime UA miles.

(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific etc)
BLR-> PVG (1 / month, usually on SQ), BLR-SFO (1-2 times a year, mostly on EK/LH and on cheapest Biz class)
(7) Preferred Airlines (SQ, TG for Asia travel; EK for US travel because of cost)
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you choose your airlines, class of service?) -Mostly work; some flexibility on airlines but not on class of service; like to avoid AC
