What frequent flyer program for us cattle?
I used to have it all. Travel upgrades, elite status, etc. Now I am cattle. Moooooo. I only fly about 6 times per year. That's sub-human but not quite cattle if I concentrate on only one airline.
On the other hand, the benefits of silver or the lowest level elite on most airlines is minimal. A few will give you one bag free check-in or might allow an occasional upgrade if the plane is empty.
What should I do? Maybe just consider fares and schedules and then slowly get miles as an afterthought.
Candidates for loyalty include Alaska (because of DL and AA credit available and some AS usage), AA (because they won't have miles based on the ticket price for a few more months), Delta or, maybe, Southwest. UA schedules aren't too good. JetBlue and Virgin don't fly where I need to go.
Maybe I should just put my tail between my legs and start eating grass. Moo.
