I am *G with AC. I fly for business across the oceans in business, and domestically I largely fly PD from YTZ. For leisure, flights to the Sun or Ireland are typical for me, where I buy economy x 4. I'm tired of the grumpy old flight attendants on AC - I'd like to drive more of my business travel to CX, but am trying to decide between BA and CX for loyalty programs, given my main benefit is getting reward travel for four people from YYZ-Ireland...
