(Not Including AA Challenges).
So, fellow FF's the question is this - Which if any is the easiest OneWorld FFP to obtain OWS / OWE on.
For *A the easiest program is A3, then the likes of TK, OZ and AC.
For OW and OWE, I think QF might be the easiest program if you fly paid business. 7 RTW tickets in business give lifetime OWS status on QF.
One thing to be aware of with oneworld is that many programs (BA, QF, not AA) enforce the 4 segment policy. In other words, you must fly 4 segments on a flight number of that carrier per year otherwise you will get no status at all. So you often can't do what you do in *A, getting status with an airline you never actually fly with. That might limit your choices.
