NK isn't the total PITA when you're Gold, it turns out
Now my dilemma is to keep going to Gold for 2026 (I'm halfway there), or keep up my A-List+ on WN, since next year WN's going to be a ishtshow if you don't have status, but NK's limited ex-SNA/SAN NSs and thin route map means I can't switch to them completely.
Ok so it sounds like flying
already needed to be done, it was just a question of which carrier. Did only the fare portion count towards the SQPs, or did some/all taxes and fees count too?
As for your dilemma, would it be possible to keep both?
In some sense, they can be a bit complementary. WN definitely has the schedule, but surprisingly uncompetitive pricing on a lot of routes, and that's where NK could come in? If not both, it might have to be WN it would seem.
