I would like to know whether it makes more sense for me to credit my miles to the AAdvantage program instead of BA Executive Club? I think Executive Club works great for European short haul redemptions, but I am never able to find availability on long haul upgrades and there are lower earning rates on economy flights (I earn almost nothing for flying to Australia), plus higher taxes/surcharges on redemptions on BA.

Secondly, can you advise on any tips for using my Avios for personal travel?

Below are all my details. <snip>
Welcome to FT!

AA is about to announce (maybe within a week or two) a major revamping of the AAdvantage program(me)'s earning and elite qualification structure. AA has also recently announced a reduction of earning metrics for BA/IB flights credited to an AA account. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...y-sourced.html

So I would advise patience, see what changes AA institutes, and then do a fresh analysis. It won't be long.
