Which airline/partner network should I fly on?
For both carriers elite status is a function of qualifying miles (which can be a function of fare class, not cabin) and qualifying spend. Partner carrier eqms can be a function of distance if segments aren't AA/DL-coded. These are basics to understanding and getting elite status.
