Combining miles
Hi All;
Quick question. Myself & Mrs Flame have two business class flights coming up in September routing Europe - Addis Ababa - Capetown and return
My Star programme used to be SAS but that dwindled to nothing years ago
I am contemplating joining Ethiopian's sheeba miles FFP but think it better to post the miles to another Star FFP, but would prefer to join one that allows "pooling" of miles into one account ... IE my own & the wifes
This is a first time flying with ETH and I cannot see much more coming up
Many thanks in advance for any advice

Not many airlines have family pooling or transfers between people at a sensible cost. Most do not allow ff mile transfer
Look at www.wheretocredit.com/et

Also one possibility is if you want status you could join Egypt airs program and make a family account 
All miles are credited towards elite status including your family's miles toward YOUR status so Star Gold for 2 years is possible

Just an idea Egyptair plus credits SK A fares at 150% so if your flying with your spouse and 2 kids east coast to CHP that's over 46000 miles so won't be enough for gold but if there are three kids we get close, also if flying from MIA or LAX or SFO it starts to add up
