I have recently relocated from Montreal, Canada to Melbourne, Australia for work and am about to book my first trip for work and need to have this decided before I do. Unfortunately, loyalty to delta/skyteam does not seem to be a viable option from Melbourne and will likely start using Singapore for my business travel.

Question is, do I join Krisflyer or dust off my old Aeroplan card and work towards elite on that? Which one offers better benefits?

Also, I know Krisflyer does not take challenges, but would aeroplan take a challenge based on my Delta record and offer me status for a year in exchange for my potential business?

Any help or suggestions would be great...

Thanks!
