So I'm moving to SF for a year or so in a couple weeks, and need to pick a new airline to fly with since my previous one (Air Canada) won't be available from SFO unless flying back to Canada.
So a couple questions for you and your airline:
1) How do you like the loyalty program?
2) How are the flight service experiences?
3) How often do you get upgraded if you've attained status?
I prefer Emirates for my international travels (International carriers are so much better then North American carriers) and have booked up some Elevate sky miles, but most of my sky miles are currently booked with Star Alliance. So that looks like it leaves my options flying from SFO to:
United (Star Alliance) and Virgin America (Elevate)
But I don't mind having to start from 0 on sky miles, so hopefully someone else has something else of a better experience and I can try them instead (I'm dreading having to go with United, but never flew Virgin America).
Oh, and if you don't have a "preferred airline", you should pick one as you're wasting sky miles by not picking a single airline.
