Airlines offering international long haul & medium haul first class is reducing over time.

Living in USA go for AA.
The QR ffp and they way the QR ffp operates is a lot different than the operating method for USA airline ffp's.
BA will/does have very high award surcharges. As does the AA ffp when redeeming awards on BA (due to BA - not the ffp)
But check the earning on QR and BA flights. http://www.wheretocredit.com/
Thanks for that link! The reason I'm looking at BA and QR (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that there's no way I'll be able to make Exec Plat on AA with those trips, but I can make top tier status via BA tier points or QR Q points.
