Dear One World experts,

I am just contemplating which OW airline would be my best option. I am pretty sure it would be AA, but would love to hear about any other options. The #1 goal for me is award redemption rates. Does anyone beat AA for 67.5k to Asia from the U.S.? On another note, does AA award elite bonuses on Cathay Pacific Codeshare flights?
