With few flights I suggest having a good look at Alaska. QF, AA & DL are all frequent flyer partners of Alaska. You don't need to fly AS, but you collect miles in the AS ffp.

Having several ffps' with low balance is never a good idea, as you often never get enough miles to be used before they expire. Buy DL sky pesos’ (miles) do not (currently) expire.
Selecting flights based on price and shedule and take ff miles, if any, as bonus that may or may not be able to be used, is the best way to go.

Thank you so much for your response and the warm welcome
! I see you're from Melbourne.. I plan on moving there after I get my degree!
I agree with everything you just said! I do have one more question if you don't mind, I just signed up for Alaskan air and they have a credit card for 25k bonus miles. Since you suggested to buy pesos' through DL, would you recommend the DL card, since they have 30k pts for their sign up? Or should I try to get an Alaskan card since that would be the company with my points? I also realized that Alaskan does't run through Cleveland.. bummer
(Still trying to get the hang of things)
