In terms of tier bonuses for flying C or F, AY Plus is like the QF program, you always get 200% for C and 300% for F, regardless your booking class (except First on US domestic, where you get 200%). This even if AY does not offer F service itself at all.
To be complete, QF does give you the 300% on US Domestic F. An added element of course with the QF program is everything is regions. Sometimes this works sometimes it doesn't. Classic example - I got 8 TC for a flight from YVR->YYJ whilst I would have gotten the same for YVR->MIA.
However, its good to hear that AY has their head switched on with the conversion.
However, I still haven't worked out which program to make my third for the RTW (I could get a fourth but at detriment to getting OW Ruby in QF). I'm leaning towards BA simply because I see myself living in the UK in a few years and therefore likely travelling BA in the future quite a bit.
What sort of bonuses do the OW carriers have going that may be useful for this promotion (and therefore for me working out who to use as #3)?
