Hello!

I've been flying *A, specifically SQ for many years now and achieved PPS status with SQ. I am thinking about switching my TPAC routes to CX for future travels this year and next.

I was wondering whether it would be better to bank my miles on AA or on CX's program. My main J/F redemption route is SFO-India-SFO for myself and my family. I've seen some threads that indicate that OW partner awards using AA miles and booking on CX metal is cheaper than redeeming CX miles directly on their routes. Is that accurate?

Which program is going to be the best fit for my needs? Also does CX/AA offer status match with SQ?
