I will second what bhomburg wrote before - don't get too attached to your miles as they might halve in value - or worse (remember Màlev?) - over night.
I mostly fly AA,BA and AY. Why I don't want to stay on AY is because I get less points from them and then their taxes are way higher than anyone's else. So far, after reading all these posts, I have come up that I should start collecting my points on AA. I do fly every year and I do already have Amex, so I think right now my best option would be AA.
but the again, I heard you don't get points from BA flights for AAdvantage if it's Transatlantic. Is that correct? because I fly a lot between HEL-DFW and that route is usually with BA (sometimes AA)
Thanks you
