Due to my wife's job, we've just moved to DTW, and will leave here in about 2 years bound for... who knows (could be east or west coast, which might make a difference for travel to Australia).
I've got about 15-40K miles on most domestic airlines (other than 250K+ on DL, which are earmarked for SQ travel). We'd like to hit Australia in 3 years, flying biz/first, so I'm interested in hearing what airlines seem to be best bets, so I can start concentrating on putting all my miles towards one airline.
My UA 2P status will be gone in less than a month (due to the wife making me change jobs!), so that's not a big decider. And while NW is the major carrier here in DTW, all of the major airlines have enough flights that I could handle flying them.
From my early research, it looks like UA (through UA or Air New Zealand) and AA (through Qantas) are probably the best bets? Is AA a better bet, as some are concerned about UA's future (although AA could be there soon enough...).
Thanks.
