Continental or NW??
Ok-here's the prob. I am going IAH to BKK at years end. Will be 19K miles. That would make me silver on Continental OR NW.
What to do? Any opinions? I use my miles for international upgrades on cheaper fares (I ALWAYS fly discounted-but I fly at least once a month-Continental must not think my $ is as good!) so I think NW might be the better choice to make the elite pgm.
Thanks--first time poster, long time reader!

Tonight NW might be your best bet, but with FF programs you never know.
Your mileage may vary.

I would opt for NWA. Get out of CO while you can.............while CO service is superior - the NWA program is much better overall.
