me and my gf have booked the following route to aus from london and wondering which ffp to join to get the most out of it during this specific trip as we may try to get some deals on hotels or car hire through our ffp whilst travelling. if it is not possible I think we are more into getting some reward flights. All flight booked through BA!!

BA LHR-NRT
QF NRT-CNS
QF BNE-ADL
QF MEL-HOB
QF HOB-SYD
BA SYD-SIN
BA BKK-LHR

All BA flights are S and QF are M

We are also doing one leg short haul between WAW-LHR (BA) in mid September and with LOT one on WRO-WAW if it makes any difference

Plus I will be trying to get to Poland for Xmas this year which means one return LHR-DUS/FRA/MUC -WRO with LUFTHANSA
