hello all,

am currently cx mpc silver - based out of hkg. fly mainly to JNB, CPT & IST.

problem is bcos 1world does not have a convenient routing to IST i end up flying to IST on EK; hence lose close to 24k miles per year on that sector.

want to join a programme allowing me to fly to all my dest with perks.

friend says to status match to UA and hence be silver on STAR network flying SQ to all above mentioned dests.

flying out in a week and dont know which carrier to fly on.

any comments would be most appreciated.

cheers.
