True, but it is still an expense. And as a non-US resident, if I only do a couple of sectors which aren't part of international itinerarys the value seems dubious.

Agreeded. In my current situation, it's clearly QF, because I fly QF a lot more, however over the next year and beyond that is going to change.
And to complicate matters the idea of an extended secondment in the USA was floated today, and if that goes ahead then it would clearly be AA.
Thanks for your help
