I would pick KLM for its superior FFP, otherwise LH or QR for the shorter flightime. Depends whether your friend feels more comfortable with a cabinful of Germans or Filipinos, although the QR 330 sounds more comfortable.</font>
I'd probably go with the Filipinos; they usually take up less seatroom (all the bulk is in the baggage hold!) and fewer are likely to go the sudsy route for trying to make the hours pass more quickly. Though they've probably got a lot more relatives to tell you about if you show any interest there. And you'll probably have a longer wait at the baggage belt as an impossible number of boxes spin by. But I've been the middle seat before in a 2-5-2 cabin full of Germans and it was forgettable.

On FF benefits, would concur that KL is the best choice. Don't even think about PR.
