New OW arrivals - a hypothetical....
 

I know, it is early days yet, but just wondering if the FF programmes of the new OW members (when they eventually get here) will have any advantages over the current members - of course, this will depend upon individual flight patterns, and so on.

For example, would a certain flight usage get you to OWE on JAL quicker than any other OW member.

Things like that.

Just a thought.....

In the past all 3 had FF programs that were worse than any of the OW airlines. Some changes in the FF programs are obviously needed upon entry to OW, whether these will make it 100% better is somewhat doubtful. From a FF plan shopping viewpoint, it doesn't seem to be much of an opportunity. The JL plan makes QFF look very generous, so if anything it might spur a new round of cuts in FF benefits at the other OW airlines.
