Quick question. Air India freq flyer vs United MileagePlus.

Is it better for parents to accrue miles on United or Air India? They live in India but fly to US and other countries. Which program is better at accruing miles for global flights and redemption for India flights.

One added advantage of united is that miles don't expire. Appreciate the insights.

Thanks.

Both are star alliance, I prefer United just because their app and offers are better

I would go with the airline that has base in my city. For instance, I have delta membership but can use those miles on KLM flights. In my case, I have a greater probability of getting upgrade on delta flights as a delta member , domestic and international. I have never been upgraded on klm flights using delta status. Plus I would imagine it will be easier to book domestic flights using a domestic airline.

But you may want to check United + Air India codeshare benefits. Miles expiration is a factor, but depends on how you’re planning to use them. For a decent international flight to EU on miles , you will need to fly A LOT. Are they expected to fly frequently ? Or once or twice every year? That’s my take. Hope it helps

They also fly within India. Forgot to mention.
