A wonderful help back at you and we are so pleased you've joined us on FlyerTalk. As the advice begins to pour in, i might ask a few questions of you:
- what airlines did you fly the three roundtrips on so far?
- did you fly the airlines based on price or because of other reasons such as corp. travel policy, etc?
- did you save your documentation of those flights, such as Boarding Passes? If so, how long ago were the flights?
- and what is it you are hoping to get out of these programs? Are you just interested in collecting miles or do you have some ideas, such as do you want to earn toward upgrades, earn toward coach redemption, earn toward other types of things such as merchandise or you just want to fly for free?
Answers or hints to these types of things will help several of os give you some advice as every potential frequent flyer member is different on what they want.
Again, welcome and I know you are in the right place!
Cheers,
Randy

We are most likely going to make a few trips a year from London to Seattle or Chicago, and flying between those two cities when we are in the U.S. Also, we will probably be flying around Europe for weekends here and there. Which airlines/programs/etc. would you recommend for us? We are completely new to this lifestyle of frequent travelling and don't know where to begin!
Thanks so much for any advice!
