alternate *A program for top tier?
 

Having reached LH SEN this year, I am seeking my FF objective for next year.

Which *A top tier would you recommend for me in 2001 to try to reach? I am going to have a dozen eco flights in europe, 2 - 4 transatlantic flight segments in C or F and - mainly - 60 LH domestic business flight segments in germany.

Since you will be a Senator for 2 years, I would look over the comparison chart (see link below).

Remember programs change from year to year and benefits one year may disappear in the next.

If you plan on doing a lot of flying in the US (personal or business), then UA is a good bet.

AC is my favorite for upgrading discount fares.

Might be worth picking up status in another network, say AF for Skyteam or BA/EI/IB/LY for OW.

I don't switch programs at all. My miles with M&M add up very fast and so are those upgrade vouchers http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif.

I am with Bernie on this one.

You would only want status on another carrier if you fly them frequently and the *Gold benefits do not get what you want.

I think once you have 1-2 top tiers on one alliance, it would be smart to go for status on a competing allinace. If my flying keeps up in 2001, that is what I will be doing.
