I need to focus on a program miles on OW just to have lounge access and extra baggage piece on flights. I dont care about ticket redemption. Travelers, any recommendations?
Thanks a lot!
LHR-MIA-GRU is a bit more than 8K miles each way. With this, AA Gold and the baggage benefits are pretty well guaranteed. You might consider the possibility of purchasing two AA 90-day AC memberships for your two trips, if you don't have enough other traveling to make it to AA PLT. DUB-ORD-MIA-GRU adds a few miles, but read through a few of the threads in the AA section for more creative routings.

Happy wandering
