Looking to take a family of 5 to India (AMD) in January 2019 and what to know what FFP I should leverage to get as many free tickets as possible. For business I take a quarterly trip to FL which is booked on a corporate travel website but with my own card which they reimburse. So I need help selecting which Airline to take to India which will probably dictate which alliance and airline I should use for my business trips.
