Hello,

I would be very grateful for a piece of advice regarding the selection of a frequent flyer program. I am currently a gold member with QR.

This year I am moving to Namibia and I am considering signing up for a second FF programme. I will stay with QR but I need a second option to fly in the region.

I will be mainly flying with: Ethiopian, South African and potentially Turkish (however no flights to Windhoek yet just a codeshare).

Which program would you recommend me to sign up for taking into account possible future developments (fleet expansion, new connections etc.)? I am considering either the one of Ethiopian (Gold status from 50.000) or Turkish (Gold status from 40.000)?

How difficult it is to reach gold status with both airlines? How many business class flights (e.g. WDH to BRU) I will need to reach the gold status?

Many thanks in advance for all the suggestions.

Regards
Radek
