First of all, hi, I've just joined FlyerTalk and this is my first post.

Anyhow, I'm another dissatisfied UK resident occasional OneWorld flyer--only occasional in large part because of the restrictions on earning miles on BA/AA.

However (following advice on r.t.a.), I'm now thinking of joining Qantas's FF programme, in advance of a BA/QF RTW trip this Xmas (itinerary: LON-LAX-SYD-CHC-EZE-SCL-EZE-LON, with perhaps LIM thrown in, too).

As a result, I will probably end up member of three OneWorld programmes, with varying amounts of miles in each: AA (c. 20,000); BA (a bunch, mainly from non-flight AirMiles, such as credit card and Sainsburys points); and now QF.

My questions: a) can I merge any of these miles in one account? b) can I combine miles from different OneWorld programmes to get rewards? c) any other advice out there?

Thanks in advance

Jon
