I thought about AA miles, they don't offer status for high annual spenders but they give you a "bonus start" which doesn't give you any actual status. I don't fly enough to meet there standards of Platinum or mid tier.

SPG > AA is my best option BUT AA has terrible availability to get CX First Class or even Business.

When we travel we normally need 3-4 seats, and it's impossible to even find one on AA. I tried going the Alaska route too, that was slightly better but they only had 1 business seat for the month of December.........

CX is always the best

Hoping you all have some goods suggestions
