Back to being based in US, Best Programs?
Hello all,
Please move if this isn't the most appropriate place.
I'm originally from the US, moved to Canada after college for work for a few years, and now back in the US after accepting a new job position (NYC area). This new position I have also will require travel, primarily domestic. I have accounts with all the "major" airlines but was wondering which would be the best one to maintain a higher level of status on? I would primarily be flying out of either Westchester County (HPN) or one of the NYC airports (LGA, JFK, EWR). Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Start by reading your (new) employer's travel policy very carefully? Is there a required or preferred carrier? If there's a corporate travel contract, there's a chance that your travel office can arrange for a temporary comped status for you with that carrier, depending on your level and how much business travel your position requires.
