Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Well, it depends on where your friend actually starts and ends the flight to Australia. LHR-SIN-SYD is just about 10K miles. Add a bit on the start and end...

I suspect that there won't be too much opposition to my suggestion that AA has the best OneWorld redemption terms. And the round trip in C/J should provide AA Gold (OW Ruby) status (about 30K EQP) with about 25K RDM to fly/upgrade. Maybe if CX/MH is the carrier being used I would look at their respective programs. But would need to calculate the expected miles (CX needs 30K credit - 24K in J for CX Silver)

Other thoughts?

Happy wandering

Fred
