Which program?
I know this is subjective but I'd still be grateful for some suggestions.

I'll be doing a RTW First class trip next month although not one to maximize segments/miles.

I have LH SEN status. I'm 10K away from UA premier though I have requested a comp from UA. I live in SFO.

So my question is: should I just get the triple base miles plus exec bonus on LH or should I try to get status on another airline be it UA or AC or even SQ. Would that do me any good? Should I just maximize miles (on LH)?

Thanks!

I'd stay with LH ... you'll probably earn another two upgrade certs with a F RTW besides triple miles etc.

If you've SEN status and are travelling under F I see no reason to change for another program. Perhaps someone might understand why... I'd keep LH.

Keep LH unless you plan on earning 1K with United before December 31st for systemwide upgrades

Thanks, y'all!

I'll stick with LH since I wouldn't make 1K on UA
