[B]One thing I really like about AA is that all miles count towards lifetime status and that all fares are upgradeable. You can't upgrade with miles really cheap fares on most other airlines.

I think QF is actually better in the upgrade respect. With AA, you have to travel on a published fare, with QF you can buy the ticket from any source and still upgrade. Meant I could buy a cheap D class return to Oz from London and upgrade to 1st each way for 30,000 points.
