will be staying in the UK or EU at least.
Yeah I know that about CX low fares which is why I wouldn't want to bank with em. Well the return flight I'm taking later next year will be last one banked with VS. (will have enough miles for a Y to Y+ upgrade)

yeah true that. But what program should I accrue it with then? What OW program would have the best redemption rates?
