Ok here we go.. getting tired of *A BS...bad service by TG, Brussels causing me to miss my connect with no compensation, LH cancelling my flight without even trying to reaccomadate me.

I fly 150K miles per year, based out of Bangkok, purchase Economy/Premium Economy. Travel from BKK all over Asia, 4 trips a year to the USA, 4 trips to Europe, 1 or 2 to South Africa, 1 to Australia/New Zealand usually.

I am UA 1K, Star Gold.

I am looking to status match if I leave, but I have heard horror stories as well with OneWorld and ability to use miles (not been huge issue for us with Star) and how SkyTeam is relatively stingy. I used to be a NW/DL Platinum for years...
