I just graduated from college and am off to law school in Chicago in three months. Since I anticipate doing some amount of travelling during law school for interviews and such, it's about time I start thinking about what FF program to make my own.

Current mileage:

Continental: 37,100 miles
United: 13,700 miles (soon to be 23,700 through College Plus graduation bonus)
American: 4,500 miles
USAirways: 1,500 miles

I don't have status on any airlines, though that should be pretty obvious. Most of my miles are on CO since my family is in Houston so CO is conveinent for visiting them. I'll be in Chicago... should that make UA the winner?

My goals: I want to maximize my chances of getting / ability to purchase domestic upgrades. Free tickets are kind of a secondary issue for me. I don't particularly anticipate any international travel, though who knows; I may discover a love of international law!

Anyway, I've been reading FT for a while, though this is my first foray into posting. Thanks a bunch.
