Do you think they'd do this? Especially if I explain they're not really poaching a *G? I just won't be doing that much domestic Canada anymore, if any.
I love CX but their program just isnt competitive and I live in Halifax... And going the other way around the world to do SQ is $1-2K more a trip.... I can buy PE for that... on CX or AC...
Staying with AC means routing through China on purpose... Which I will have to go 2 or 3 times. So I would probably have no problem making AC50K again.
But Im going to be hauling butt on UA a lot to Singapore. Its just cheaper and frankly the connection is better (hard to miss connect when you come in on the aircraft going to SIN...) Im thinking it might be nice to upgrade. And as P1K when I do go domestic USA (not so often) an upgrade should be pretty easy for USA Canada - after all are they not unlimited?
I also don't think it would impact my ability to choose the ANA lounge in Tokyo over the crowded UA lounge as they are both *G.
