How to fast track to Star Alliance Gold status
by statusmonger on Jan.20, 2009, under Airlines
Star Alliance is probably the best airline partnership out there. United, US Airways, and Air Canada in North America. BMI, Lufthansa, and Swiss among others in Europe. Asiana, ANA, Singapore, Air China and a couple others in Asia, which is probably the strongest aspect of the alliance. The Star Alliance Gold status is the highest status within Star Alliance, with benefits such as lounge access for any of the Star Alliance partners on any international flight, priority check-in and boarding, and extra baggage allowance.
Now you can get Star Alliance Gold by becoming Premier Executive on United or Gold on US Airways, but that requires you to bank 50,000 actual flown miles or 60 segments in one calendar year. There’s actually a better alternative: bank miles with Asiana Airlines when flying with United, US Airways, or any other Star Alliance partner.
Asiana Airlines requires you to fly only 40,000 miles or 50 segments and the qualification period is 2 years, not 1 year, to become Asiana Diamond, which gets you Star Alliance Gold. Not only that, your Asiana Diamond status is valid for 3 years, not just 1 year like United or US Airways.
No more banking miles with crappy US domestic carriers.

Fed up with getting low amounts of useless visitors to your website? Well i have good news. Maybe you already heard of the new underground hidden product called Auto Traffic Avalanche that I myself use to generate $800 on the daily basis completely on AUTOPILOT. There’s no need to say anything more. Just watch the video on AutoTrafficAv.info before it goes down!

well.. I signed up for Asiana – their website is most useless. I can’t really book any flights with their dropdown selections. So I would have to book say via United website and then call them to assign my new Asiana mileage number which is quite annoying. Asiana says to use IE but that doesn’t work either. Pretty poorly designed website resevation page I must say.

Greetings, I’m Mathias and I’m definitely grateful that I stumbled on triangletrip.
com. If you don’t mind, I just have one quick question. I was interested to know how you focus yourself and empty your mind before writing. I have had difficulty clearing my mind in order to get my ideas out. I definitively do love writing, but it just seems like the first ten to fifteen mins are lost merely just trying to decide how to start. Any tips or hints?
