Which *A FF would you join??
Hi
My girlfriend and I just got 29000mile *A RTW economy tickets just before the price rise
. I'm new to the *A and haven't joined a FF program yet.
What program would you choose given the itinery below?? We thought that AC aeroplan of NZ airpoints and either the AC maple leaf club or NZ koru club might give us the best miles/points and cover most lounges. Do you agree?
We're thinking of heading to tahiti or back to YVR next year (undecided as yet) but i guess it will be dictated by what plan we've joined.
Thanks for your input

Welcome to FT nickog
Firstly, unless you particularly need the special features of airpoints (eg any seat award availability) I wouldn't credit to NZ airpoints. The earning rate in discounted economy is fairly bad, plus you need to fly NZ every year to avoid the annual membership fee.
