I am a Member of both Skymiles and AAdvantage, and I have been using AA this year for my domestic work travel.

I have been trying to decide which World Alliance to stick with. Every year I like to make a trip to India, but the majority of my travel is done domestically.

Anyone have any advice on which program would work best for me. So far my analysis has been

Skymiles:
+only 75K Miles to reach top tier
+can get mileage on most partner fares
+Larger choice for travel to india (BOM).
+Greater list of domestic partners
+Starting LGA-ORD
-80K miles to get an international ticket to bom
-must be top tier to gain international lounge access



AAdvantage:
+Program works great for domestic travel
+challange available to hit PLT..
+I like the Upgrade process of stickers
+Lounge access at PLT level
-Only certain Class of econ get miles
-No miles on BA JFK-LHR

So my conclusion AAdvantage for my domestic travel is great, but their international isnt really all that for me.

Can anyone add anything to help in my deicsion.

If it makes a difference, I have 23K miles both accounts.
