I'd basically like to know what the program to join is considering I want to be able to send my wife on BA award tickets down to Southeast Asia to meet up with me, whilst I fly from Auckland. I will be flying a lot with Air NZ but ideally I'd like to build up points in a oneworld carrier so that I can redeem on BA or Cathay.
Thanks for all your help.
