Where do you live? That can be a bigger factor.

What do you want out of your travel? Upgrades/comfort while traveling? Or miles/status that will benefit you in your personal travel?

Upgrades and comfort. I don't do a ton of personal travel- maybe one big trip every 1-2 years and then random flights home to see family which are usually inexpensive

What does FB recommend for best benefits to use for personal travel?

UA. *Alliance is the best alliance by far, especially for Asia. Plus, even though redemptions were recently nerfed, UA is the only of the legacy carriers to have some semblance of open jaws and stopovers on international redemptions.

That said, if your primary goal is premium redemptions, fly AA/VX/AS and credit to Alaska. Phenomenal redemption rates on JAL and Cathay for business/first

Plus AS allows for stopovers even on one way travel. Very lucrative.

D2 but biggest caveat is upgrades only on Alaska metal (maybe VX now/soon?). Home airport is a huge factor too

ConciergeKey is so worth it though

Delta is really hard to get upgraded on. I'm diamond and almost never happens.

D3 Pretty easy when not flying to/from hubs. I had a higher success rate as a Delta silver than a UA Plat

Are you over a 3 hour flight?

No

Hi I have a question. I have been in media for television and radio for 20 years. I am looking to pivot to tech and I have an interview next Friday with a recruiter. It is for an executive broadcast booker position at Meta. There is no salary listed for this position or no previous salary history on glassdoor. I did find a salary listing but for Colorado and the minimum is 217,000. If I am questioned about what am my salary expectations; if i said 28000 is that too much & will that scare them.
