(8) Preferred Airlines
Up in the air...UA right now, maybe QA or EK? Or is AA better with base in the US?
Living in USA not worth considering a non USA airline FFP. But some people in USA do use BA.
EK Emirates is not OneWorld
QA: if you mean QF Qantas do not consider the QF ffp for 1 second. Its a poor ffp.
Go for AA. DFW is AA home base.
AS is OK for some due to the DL & AA being freq flyer partner airlines
