I will be flying around 30-40k miles this year and looking to credit them to the program that makes the most sense. From my research, Asiana seems to be the best option as it gives you *A Gold status for 2 years. Turkish M&S would be a great option too but I need the miles I fly to be with TK, due to status match requirements. There doesn't seem to be much difference between the two, as they offer *A Gold for 2 years. Wondering if redemption availability is better with Asiana or with Turkish?
