VA/SIA or QF/MAH?

[Noob]

Poll on AUSBT, what is your opinion?


Reader poll: will the new Qantas and Virgin Australia Asian alliances change your travel loyalties? - Flights | hotels | frequent flyer | business class - Australian Business Traveller

ok, i'll go first............
why doesn't ABT have a "confused" button.

feel like i have a tendency towards MH as have had plenty of Points upgrade to J with their flights, and only 1 with Singapore, the rest have been Pay with J for Singapore. i'm thinking MH.............. though. not sure why the Loyalty but they have been better at utilising points. have had every upgrade put in for successful, and not quite so much with Singapore.

Ugh I have a headache just thinking about it.

VA/MH would've been my ideal combo, though I can see how the greater corporate patronage and brand recognition of SQ in the Aussie market would complement VA's vision better.

Thats the troube with super-popular airlines and well trafficked points programs. The more people they have to reward, the harder the rewards come. I tend to think points programs are a double edged sword for airlines. Paying customers are motivated to get the reward but are equally turned off an airline when the reward is nigh impossible to get.
