Which FF plan:YYZ-BUH:AF/AZ/ or NW...??
 
I dont know which FF to bank the points to and am in need of some expert advice from the FT community;

YYZ-BUH (NW) Min 4 tks/Max 8 (may cancel intins);
YYZ-LCA (AZ) 4 tkts;
MSP-LGW(BRS) 1 tkts;
& presently have 139K on AF (no status).

Which FF should i use to maximize points, status ?

Thks

PS: thought of MMiglia for AZ flights to get J/C class bonus..
PPS:NW tkts are B class

It depends on where you fly and what your goals are. For international travel, staying with AF is probably your best bet. If you go NW, you can get upgraded on your flights, but then you'll use all your miles. AZ might be ok, but you already have a load of AF points and I don't see what advantage that would give you. I'd stick with the AF miles to try to get as many in that account as you can.

Enjoy, err, Romania.

thanks to u..
 
ok, i was thinking of consolidating all points under AF too, but thought that since i would get more points on NWA it may be ideal for UG...

BUt u have made a valid point, most of my travels are overseas hence i cannot use NWA as much...

thanks again for your opinion,

a.

I would spread them out where you think you will most likely use them. Take a couple of the flights on NW to BUH and if you like the service post the miles from the next few flights to NW FF program. If you don't like the service post some miles with AZ but keep AF as your primary program. Just my .02. :cool:

Comparing service and UG potential seems to be the name of the game, and will do as u suggest and try before i buy ...

hheheh...
thanks.

Another consideration is that NW (and CO) give 150% level (but sitll 100% award) miles for B fares while FB gives just 100%. You'll get to PE status faster with NW or CO. Elite bonus is also higher (125% and 100% for PE/GE vs. 100%/75% with FB).

If you can get an address to use in East Asia, you get complimentary WC membership with NW at the GE level and up.

in light of this info, once i have reached plat level on NWA i will start to credit points to FB, and hopefully in the meantime i will find a PO BOX in East Asia.. (anywhere in EA or..?)
