He is currently a UA 1k.
The last couple of years saw him making regular trips between TLV and North America. His regular commute is TLV-BRU.
Anyways, now he no longer needs to travel to North America and will almost exclusively be flying TLV-BRU on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
The question is, how should he go about having his status matched?
I suggested to him to call Miles&More and inquire with them.
What is the 1k equivalent in M&M? I assume HON?
His travel is always on Brussels Airlines, so I assume they would be the logical choice.
He would stay with UA MileagePlus but they require a minimum amount of flights on UA metal, the idea of a mileage run is not appealing to him.
Your friend is going to have difficulty status-matching within *A.
If he's doing that amount of traveling, it sounds like M&M would be his best.
Or he could try A3 (Aegan) - that has the lowest threshold for *G.
Though it's likely he will have to start from scratch.
The M&M equivalent of 1K is SEN. But he will not be matched to that.
UA's GS is equivalent of LH's HON.
