i am flying to israel using czech airlines which frequent flyer program is best to register for? (and why) thanks
1stly you have to know what the fare basis is? it starts with a Letter. Not all fares can accumulate miles on all SkyTeam partners
2ndly you have to check with each Carrier where you want the miles to go to see what if any % of the flown miles you will get credit for
3rdly OK (Czech) is apart of SkyTeam = Continental or Delta for US Carriers CO after 10/25 will apart of Star Alliance = United and its partners
so you need to decide which Carrier and program you wish to be a part of and most likely will fly in the future
an ex I once was gonna book a Flight to TLV on Orbitz a very cheap fare , when I checked the fare codes turned out no miles can be earned going over and 50% for the way back or 25% of the total, I booked elsewhere as miles and EQMs are important to me
IMO it doesnt pay to get Czech miles as after Oct they wont be flying into the US any longer
