Obviously I can't book flights through United unless it's going to US, and my future destinations will mainly Australia and South East Asia. The flights I'm currently thinking of flying with - Singapore Airlines, Garuda, Qantas, ANA.
Would anyone be able to help me retain my Gold status? I'm not ready to lose it after having the status for the past 15 years or so. Help my flyertalk you're my only hope.
Do you happen to be Bonvoy Gold Elite by any chance? (or have access to it via a credit card that grants the status). there's an SQ Silver fast track for Bonvoy Gold, and Bonvoy Platinum/Titanium/Ambassador qualify for the SQ Gold fast track

I see you're UA 1MM, how about the Alaska status match? It bestowed oneworld benefits on me a few times
