ADVICE: best airline to get elite status
I'm relatively new to the frequent flier game, but I was hoping to get some advice. Over the next two years, I'm going to be flying 70k-100k miles per year for school (including 10-15 round trips between New York and London, a couple within Europe, and a couple from NYC to domestic US cities). I've never flown enough to make any tier of frequent flier, so I was hoping to get some advice on which one I should fly exclusively. Which airline has the best benefits for a someone like me who will most likely buy mainly discount economy tickets every time? Main choices are Virgin Atlantic, American, British, United. Any thoughts on complimentary upgrades / best company for mile redemptions? Also, I'm not opposed to signing up for credit cards for additional points. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
