For instance, to get *A Gold with SK you only need 50K miles if you live in the UK. This is achievalbe by doing approx. two longhaul return trips in C.

What would be the equivilent program to choose in OW?

Any ideas?
you would have enough status credits for Emerald via Qantas after 4 Biz round-trips HKG-LAX. Like BA, however, QF requires four own-coded flights on your account before giving out any status at all. It would take 5 Biz round-trips on AA, but AA does not enforce the 4 own-coded flights rule. CX and BA make you start over at zero status credits every time you move up a tier.
