pinegreen Welcome to FT
What are your objectives from a ffp?
What is your definition of best? (will be the same as mine)
With the majority of ffp's benefits are reducing and ff mile costs are going up. Upgrades are now harder to get.
Frequent miles are not equal, to earn or burn.
USA based airline ffp's tend to be more generous (status benefits/earn/burn/upgrades/award cost/award cash surcharges/expiry/affiliated credit cards/promotions) compared to non USA based airline ffp’s (even after the recently announced changes to some USA ffp’s)
The airline you fly most or an airline of the country you live is the best ffp for many people. Generally however you are better earning on your primary airline due to greater recognition, better service when disruptions, ability to upgrade flights and possible operation upgrades.
