I have had status on United for years, but I didn't travel enough last year to get any status. That means I am a free agent.
What airline would you pick if you were traveling to the following places within the same year: San Francisco (at least twice) Boston (at least once) Orlando (at least once) Possible trip to Japan TIA |
|
American. Easiest to obtain status on especially with a trip overseas (no minimum spend requirement).
If you don't care about status and didn't hate United, stick with them. |
| Whatever airline has the best price/flights for each trip when you schedule it. |
|
Those flights are not going to get you status.
I would fly Jet Blue to Boston and Orlando and then figure out the best prices on the rest. But UAL does fly direct to Tokyo out of Dulles. |

American is decent for those cities.
A trip to Japan can get you to Gold on American, especially if in business class. |
A trip to Japan in business class WILL get you Gold on American. With the bonuses this year, it will get you close to platinum. Add in a few domestic trips, and you're there. |
