I just moved from Paris to San Francisco and want advice on which FF Program to use.
I currently a Platinum member on Flying Blue, I travel about 25 flights a year in business class predominantly to SHA and HKG. I will be travelling back from SFO to CDG 1 or 2 a year for leisure.
I am tempted to switch to Delta but am afraid they dont have direct flights from SFO to Asia and I find Flying Blue very hard to get upgrades on. Therefore I ma looking for advice on UA and AA FF programs as I might be tempted to switch. However, I've flow US carriers before and was pretty disapointed by the quality of the service.
Any feedback on their FF programs would be very welcome!
Cheers!
Welcome to FT!
So you will be traveling in paid Business Class to Asia, but will be traveling on your own dime to Paris?
Your business travel to Asia might yield enough award miles to enable you to travel in Business Class to Europe on an award ticket.
If you want to fly nonstop to both HKG and PVG on the same airline, you're probably looking at UA. But whether you should credit your miles to UA or to one of UA's Star Alliance partners is a separate question.
If you'd rather fly CX to Asia, you could credit to CX or AA or any other oneworld carrier.
Will there be much -- or any -- domestic (U.S.) travel in your future? If so to which cities?
