Does anybody know if Southwest and AA fly to other countries? (Asia and Europe)
For Asia and Europe, Southwest is useless. American flies worldwide, either itself or via its participation in the OneWorld Alliance. You can find out much more about each program from their websites,
www.southwest.com and
www.aa.com. Find out which fits you best and pick. You can join multiple programs, and between Southwest, JetBlue, and American, there is no overlap in mileage programs.
