Thanks in advance for any help. Here is my situation. I will be a 1K flyer with united this year but my travel pattern will change next year, less domestic and more international. I plan on taking 8 trips to Europe from Denver and 3 transpacs next year all for pleasure not business. So, I am paying for my own tickets. I would like a FF program that would allow me to upgrade into business class with the most comfort with the miles that I will be accruing. I guess my question is this...should I stay with United ( united biz class is pretty good) or switch, and if possible match status, with another program. For example, BA has a nice biz class and a direct flight to London from Denver...would it make sense to switch to that program? I have to do a connection via United out of Denver anyway since there are no direct flights. Looking forward to the input.
