Many discount CX fares earn nil or low miles on many ffp's including Cathay's AsiaMiles
Getting status with any airline ffp will be hard travelling on cheap CX fares

As above, AS may be a good fit due the partners

Thank you. I will get more info for the "Deciding...." thread referenced above. It may be that until he gets more regular in carriers/fare buckets he uses, that AS is the best (or until somebody scoops up AS

)

However, it still leaves open the question of getting access to quality international lounges. Without status on a OW MEMBER, I don't see how to accomplish this. Am I missing something?
