Best Mileage Program ?
I'm going to be travelling to India (del-bom-blr - although I'm ok with catching a connection within india) quite a bit over the next couple of years (4-5 times a year) in Biz class. any thoughts on which might be the best mileage program to get?
currently, I've got delta and Air Canada. I tend to go from DC to Montreal quite a bit and so the 15K redemption that AC offers has been quite useful.
I'm not overly worried about status right now (although I'm elite on AC) as whichever plan I pick, I'll probably hit it soon enough !

current Balances ... I'm not sure this matter coz I'm really willing to re-start. I'm elite on AC with almost 90K but I can just use them for redemtion purposes and not worry about maintaining status. I'm no status on Delta but have about the same number of miles. AC's international mileage earning opportunities dont seem attractive and so I'm considering shifting anyway.
Just a start.. BA and LH seem to be quite good in promoting Biz (C) fares with their promotionss.

Try this question up in the MilesBuzz forum & I think you'll get a better response.
Good luck

What about UA/AC IAD-YYZ-DEL? they're supposed to add YYZ-BOM after they get the new widebodies, and AC Super Elite has some very nice perks..
