which is the best home for 12,000 FFM's

Hi we have booked a Y promo , which in almost every oneworld FFP earns 12000 FFM's.
Iam a member with BA and AA
but I would like to know which programs miles are worth the most ?
In BA I can pool them into my household account 5*12k = 60k, but BA's redemption is not that atractive ( for me ).
Any idea ? where them have the most value ? family 5 pax

'Worth' is subjective, it really depends how you plan to use them and if you will be earning more in future. 12,000 miles through AAdvantage won't be much use and you can't pool miles.

I would credit to BAEC for any passengers that are unlikely to travel much more so you can pool the miles, avios can still be useful for direct premium cabin flights, or shorthaul.

What is the airline, fare and route? You may earn less than you think.

Y class TXL-DOH-HKT-DOH-TXL on QR ( 100% in almost every FFP ).
And i will not earn much more in the future, so there is no other FFP where i can pool the miles than my BA ?
3 of us have AA accounts with milage inside, the other 2 would be starters.
All 5 of us are in my BA household account which also runs over 600k.
But as already said, other than CX longhaul, and or QF/AA/BA domestics i not
use them. Just searched for DUS-TXL positioning flights.
With BA them 9k + 70Euro taxes/fees on AB
On an OTA i can get them for 66 Euro all in.

What is the fare code for each segment? Promo fares will likely be in the cheapest fare buckets, which when credited to AA or BAEC will earn 25% base miles.
