I’m wondering what you would recommend the best frequent flyer would be for me.

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Reply: BA for most internals, SAS, Finnair
As you live in Manchester join the BA ffp. Finnair is a BA partner, so you will get BA avios on eligible flights
BA forum is here. It is very active with many good posts. Have a read of the sticky wiki threads

The airline you fly most or an airline of the country you live is the best ffp for many people. Generally however you are better earning on your primary airline due to greater recognition, better service when disruptions, ability to upgrade flights and possible operational upgrades. Earning miles from non flying activities is easier with an airline of your home country.
What are
one miles?
SAS is part of Star Alliance so to get miles for those flight you need to join a Star Alliance airline ffp.
Award flights are not free. All now have real taxes, which can be insignificant to high (UK APD in business/first class). Some ffp's, like BA, have cash surcharges on award flights. For BA economy awards you need to check the cash BA price, price on other airlines and the BA cash surcharge.
