What's my best bet in terms of collecting these miles (and traveling a few more on oneworld) to match the status to Star Alliance?

Or asked differently:

1. What's the best program to get Sapphire (should be equiv to Gold) on oneworld?

I'm thinking AA or BA, but I could be wrong.

2. Is there an airline on Star Alliance that matches Sapphire to Gold?

Thanks a lot for the help!
Hi schabasa,

I do not know which is the easiest way to obtain Gold status (Saphire) in One World but I am sure you can find a lot of information in the One World forum.
With IB+ 2 return flights to MEX, in Biz, should be sufficient to obtain Gold status.

Regarding status match, a few months ago Turkish airlines Miles&Smiles was offering it, but I am not sure if it is still valid.
You may check a webpage(statusmatch.com or similar) where you will find a lot of information.
