Agree- I do about 400K miles in total, about 250-300K with *A. For my African routes I have no choice but to use KL/BA, and for my LHR-JFK run BA is the best option (twice more flights than UA). I would hesitate to shift my LHR-SIN traffic from SQ to LH (takes more time, only one flight per day). So, for an LHR based customer, does not make much sense to shift all my traffic to LH/UA to have a stab at HON with the current level of HON benefits.
