4-5 roundtrips in business JFK<->DUB/LHR per year [plus a few additional segments within Europe], plus ~4 JFK<->SFO/OAK/SJC in economy, and ~2 random e.g. JFK<->ORD per year.
In total that's... ~25 segments a year? and ~50k great circle distance miles.


Business transatlantic, economy intra-US


Work only, and work will pay for business transatlantic but not domestic. I'm away from home too damn much to travel for fun but at least it's not *my* money.


See above: JFK-DUB, JFK-SFO, (newly: JFK-PDX), JFK-(DUB)-LHR, LHR-ZRH, JFK-ORD. Within the US, have been flying B6, have previously been flying ~exclusively EI or BA for European travel.


JFK. Will not consider LGA or EWR (I live in Brooklyn close to JFK).


Concierge (top tier) with Aer Lingus, but sick and tired of lack of reciprocal status for any US airline (and no, United doesn't count, as it doesn't provide tier points and doesn't recognize status, and doesn't serve JFK). Way more Avios than I know what to do with.

Membership but no status with JetBlue. C'est la vie. (Aer Lingus's weird interlining but no miles integration is ????)


I would like to consolidate onto *an* airline network, given EI is still aeons out from joining OneWorld. Don't care which one, as long as they'll status match and offer a seamless experience.
I would say AA. Since your company pay for J class and if you fly AA in J, you earn 2EQM per miles flown, so you have a good shot of at least a Platinum Pro or maybe even exec platinum.
