Guys,

I used to be bmi *Alliance, and now BAEC (OneWorld) but given my flights are for work, BA/AA are expensive and I have to make a choice between *Alliance (and who) or maybe virgin?

I currently have BAEC with lots of points, VirginAtlantic with 20k and Asiana with 2k points.

Any thoughts I like virgin, can use the points for holidays etc, but I'll only collect virgin on transatlantic flights... not the european flights..
Gut feeling is Asiana is the right one to start banking my future miles
