Then Thai air to BKK less than 3 hours so still get mileage credit since Thai Star A.

But Eva air seems to have a decent program you might look into.
Been researching all day. Just an update: It looks like the best accrual is with AA as they have 100% or more for nearly all classes flown on CX to the US.

It looks like TK is the best accrual for *A, and I've yet to find anything worthwhile on SkyTeam.

EVA only gives full credit for limited fare classes, and is next to nothing on partners. But their fares are great....
