Best Mileage Program from SXM?
hey everybody,
I was wondering what the best frequent flyer program would be if your home airport is SXM (St Maarten/Princes J)? I use US Air/*A but that's because I used to be based out of Philly, so I was wondering if anybody knows something better? I fly all over, so breadth of reach is important.
I see AirFrance-KLM come up a lot when I'm booking, but they don't fly to the US, and I'm not sure how the Delta arrangement works and what will happen after the NW merger and CO leaves SkyTeam.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Yeah AA is actually fairly limiting from here unless you're on very specific routes. I mapped out some possible routes and more or less found that United/Star Alliance is best if you're headed for routes to America or Asia, while AF/KLM is best if you're headed to Europe or Southeast Asia.
