I also find that in different countries “frequent flyers” are treated very differently.
Agreed with you on that point. In particular, the American and European airlines have nothing on the Asian airlines. I've always had wonderful service in the air and on the ground be it from SQ, NH, or the other * Asian airlines. However, looking within North America/Europe, an argument could be made that AC is one of the better ones: be it their lounges which have showers, their J product with all aisle access. Travelling in Y, UA is clearly the best of the lot, particularly if you're a Premier member since E+ is free and lightyears ahead of the Y product of the others. They also have wifi, something AC hasn't even heard of yet (I've been on 2 787s and a 777 and none of them had wifi!)
Safe Travels,
