  • I have long distance flights from UK --> Kenya coming up with *A partners (Swiss Air and Brussels Airlines)
  • I realised I have complimentary United Airlines Silver status (as I'm a Marriott platinum member).

Any advice as to what to do?

Thanks
4000 M&M miles is so little that you should take it out of the equation completely. Otherwise it depends on what you want. The UA*S will get you priority rebooking in case of IRROPS, that should be useful to you.
