Hey guys. I'm living in Singapore now and flying back to US to visit home about 2-3 times per year. I currently have status on CX, but with flying cheap economy tickets and the new program there's no way I can earn status (I've actually earned 0 miles this year after 2 round trips)

I was looking at AA, but read something that you don't have access to all OW lounges. I also saw mentions of Finnair and Alaska, but don't really see what's so great about these programs.

Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks!
