Best FFP for Taca Flights?

have a LAX-LIM RT coming up and can't say I'll ever fly them again anytime soon and would like to bank the miles with a FFP I use often. I have a United # but earning 50% on my fare seems lame. Are there any other worthwhile? I could swing a US Air or a European based airline.

United is your best bet even though it's only 50%

TACA has a good FFP, does it earn 100% there?

They will get you 100% on Aegean which will get you Star Alliance Silver at least (1 free bag on United and US Air) and get you fairly close to a one-way redemption.

That;s interesting, so in order to get the free bag etc if I did this I would have to use my Aegean # on all United and US bookings?

Yes indeed. There has been some discussion on the Aegean forum about using the benefits of one FFP while earning miles on another, but that's a bit too much trouble and kind of gives Aegean the short end of the stick.
