I will only fly around twice a year only for holidays. So I wont have as much activity and maybe sometimes I won't fly with One World.

So far I think AA and BA are the best.
Both allow extending miles with minor purchases, so they don't expire as I wont earn enough miles to get something back within 1 or 2 years.

I think from what I could read AA is the best, because the miles are "worth" a bit more than the BA Avios.

Can anyone give me details on QF and IB?

Which one of these 4 would you consider?
