My current system is EU hops on BA either cash or RFS. Should renew BA Gold with some long-hauls ex-BRU/LUX but have got nigh on a year to renew anyway.
Where absolutely unavoidable, flying *A particularly SN as its often very cheap. Totally avoiding ST, U2 and FR. Only flew FR years ago to try it anyway. AF/KL the bottom of the barrel as far as legacy's go.
