And totally forgot about

Sri Lankan can be a lot easier for longhaul economy travellers (potentially almost twice as generous as BA).
So thanks for those tips. Although if they also require the 4 flights, it might be a bit useless... I looked at airlines I might actually fly (BA, AA, IB, QR, CX, MH)

And by aligned I do not mean identical. Just not a huge difference in the 'cost' of getting to OWE.
