travel patterns:
my job requires a lot of travelling (read weekly); being based london, I naturally opted for BA as main carrier; my flight destinations do differ: its been wider europe in last 12 months and will be south east asia for the next 6-12 months;
what I am trying to achieve:
- shortly after reaching gold on BA, I am planning to build my status (ideally senator) on MM (so that I have more options with using both, e.g. when *A offers better connectivity)
I am not sure why you say MM is difficult: just checked on wheretocredit.com and most of flights (thai air, swiss, lufthansa) from LHR to BKK are @200% when crediting to MM? on the MM miles calculator I found that the LHR/BKK on business yields about 10000 miles (status and bonus miles); does the 200% mean I am getting about 20000 credited when flying one-way?
which stopovers would you recommend(improving status/miles yield), if at all, when taking lhr/bkk?
many thanks
