Best to stick with either QANTAS FF or CX Asiamiles seeing that you're based in Australia.</font>
Guy,
I'm still learning about all this, but I am interested to understand why you believe this since AAdvantage appears to offer at least 80% more miles per flight than AsiaMiles/Marco Polo for OneWorld Emeralds (2.25 vs 1.25 for J, 2 vs 1 for Y), its award flights are about 20% cheaper, and the miles required to achieve status is lower. None of this seems to depend on where you live. The only downside I can see is that for residents of some countries the number of discounted economy class fares which can earn mile (or full miles) is reduced.
Am I missing something?
