I have a Business class flight with AA booked for Dublin to Miami in March (from the recent deal DUB>LHR>MIA RT), as well as BA flights (economy on a low booking class) LGW>DUB>LHR. I'd like to know where I would be best to credit those miles! one of the considerations is a FFP where I can get upgrades, or business award flights to Thailand with one of the middle eastern carriers. I don't mind the idea of occasionally buying miles when there are offers on (like the current AA offer) to afford those award flights, recognising that I dont fly as much as a lot of members..!

thanks
