Reply: Just recently signed up for Delta, and AA. Have no miles in either.

(8) Preferred Airlines
Reply: Any !
With few flights I suggest having a good look at Alaska. QF, AA & DL are all frequent flyer partners of Alaska. You don't need to fly AS, but you collect miles in the AS ffp.

Having several ffps' with low balance is never a good idea, as you often never get enough miles to be used before they expire. But DL sky pesos’ (miles) do not (currently) expire.

Selecting flights based on price and shedule and take ff miles, if any, as bonus that may or may not be able to be used, is the best way to go.

Note: Qantas does not have a u
