Lounge BA > NZ > LX

Service NZ > BA > LX

Overall BA > NZ > LX

In all above cases I'm referring to BA-F, NZ-C and LX-F class. That said I'd probably use the DC miles given the choice.

I've never flown NZ in C but I have flown LX in F and I find it hard to believe that this is a better seat than this. But choose for yourself.

What are the DC award ticket change fees? If they're small I'd recommend using your DC points for whatever is available now (UA in C/F for ex) and then change your flights at a later date when better flights open up (hopefully LX in C/F).
