Any ideas for best airline to credit? She has been USAir to date, b/c of the good options out of DCA, but I'm wondering if she can quickly get to *G with just this one routing?
Is she is an infrequent flyer what benifit will she get from *G with other flights? Orphan miles can expire with no account activity. Better to keep 1 account alive and use for awards or upgrades. If the USAir / AA merger goes ahead she will end up with AA miles
