"so far I've been to Paris, Texas"

I don't think that Paris, Texas is a very exciting destination. Paris, France on the other hand ....



In terms of FFPs, a lot depends on what you hope to use your miles for. If you want cheap vacation flights within Europe, BAEC's Reward Flight Savers actually provide very good value. And you don't have to fly BA to earn BAEC Avios/tier points. You could, for example, fly AA to DFW, QR to JNB (via DOH), etc., and credit those flights to your BAEC account.

If you credited your AA and other oneworld flights to AA, on the other hand, even low-level AA status would entitle you to AA's Main Cabin Extra seats when traveling in Coach (free at check-in -- if still available -- for Golds, free at booking for higher-tiers). AA award travel on partners other than BA and IB is also surcharge-free.
