1) BUD
2) 50-70k
3) Economy, sometimes Business
4) I can choose, fly for both work and leisure
5) Have 2-3 BUD-US East Coast flights a year (AA or BA), 20-30 Europe, 1-2 BUD-Asia (FinnAir)
6) Have a MALEV Sapphire (exp 2013) for 4-5 yrs now
7) In order of importance: lounge access, priority boarding, excess luggage, redemption
8) Don't like AA, other OW are okay

Looking forward to your suggestions!

Thanks,
Nash
Your Duna club points are gone, irrespectively where they came from.

Best program will depend a bit on which airline you do the 25 intra eu trips with. I would suggest to look at BAEC first, since your main longhaul is with BA. You should also pay close attention on AB topbonus, when they announce their thresholds for status once in OW.
If your longhaul to asia is in business, then Finnair plus can be of interest as they credit 200% for C. If they are in discount Y, Finnair is not the program for you.
