Hi there,
Bit of background, Im BA Silver and regularly fly to the US (SFO) and normally I can get a BA flight but they've recently become really expensive that they are almost always more expensive than *A. I used be to *A with BMI but all my points/status went to BA when they bought BMI out.

I have a ton of miles on BA and about 60k on Asiana but Im thinking of using someone else (like united) to offer me more flexibility on burning the miles, Any comments?

(1) What is your home airport? LHR
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? Transatlantic Business (company bulk tickets) , Europe Economy
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? 30-50k
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? BA Silver and Asiana Gold, Not flown *A for 2yrs, Marriott Titanium gives me UA Silver
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Earn/Burn ratios and secondly lounge access
(6) Which routes do you fly most often Transatlantic 2x/yr, European 10-20times
(7) Preferred Airlines BA,UA
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? business primarily


Im currently thinking of moving to UA as the earn burn rations appear better than OZ (UA give me approx 20k miles whereas OZ only 10k). OZ need 80k for a TransA Biz seat, whereas UA appear to be "in flux" at the moment..

Am i still better off with Asiana?

Any thoughts? thanks
