My brother is based out of SFO and flies 50K-100ishK every year, mostly int'l coach. I pushed him to join the UA program, but he's not a big spender, so I think it might be better for him to join another program. He really likes flying EVA with their personal TVs in coach, but I don't know anything about the program.

I was thinking about maybe pushing him toward US Air, as I know they don't have a ton of taxes and fees on rewards. Any ideas?
