Grass is greener... AS/WN now over UA
... I said EXACTLY the same thing when I did a status match from UA Gold (million mile lifer) to AS MVPG. For my work trips I fly AS just enough to maintain MVPG and use WN with companion pass when Mr Lainys travels with.
Credit card spend maintains WN CP and my AS upgrade % out of SJC is fantastic compared to UA Gold departures out of SFO.... think 2nd or 3rd page down the UA upgrade list somewhere....LOL. Personally I've been a happy AS MVPG flyer since the status match! Time will tell... for now i'll stick to AS/WN over UA
UA got several work round trips this year only because of convenience and multiple nonstop flight options over AS/WN in case customer meetings finished earlier or later (SFO-BOS-SFO).
