My main goal at the moment is to achieve *A Gold, my employer rarely springs for business class (unless your itinerary is super long) so I definitely value the lounge access/perks. Did a bit of research and reckoned that Asiana Mileage Club was my best bet for reaching Gold given the relatively low threshold (40k miles) and the 24 month qualifying period. Wondering if anyone else who flies ET regularly has a different view? Cheers!
