You'll qualify for *Gold easy (40k in 2 years). Also, if you keep up this pace of travel, Lifetime *G is also possible (500k lifetime miles).

Main disadvantage of Asiana is the earn/burn ration, but if you are predominantly on Economy, it doesn't really matter much.

However, do note that for SIN-KLA flights, if it is a Silkair plane (even if you bought a SQ ticket), you won't be able to get mileage for it on any program except for SQ KF.

The Earn/Burn Ratio of OZ is terrible. The YQ is also high.

Also, considering OP likes to fly QR, they could change that flying to TK and sign up for Miles & Smiles and get the same accrual deal with much better earn/burn.

I'd suggest OP looks at OZ, TK, and A3 and makes a decision between them.
