So which star carrier would be best for me to credit to to earn status? Currently AC, UA, TK, SK, LH, LX fly from DUB but that's not to say I have to credit to them. I suppose I'd like to reach Gold as lounge access is important to me and was previously Gold with BD

Thanks for the advice

I'm not switching from OW (EXP on AA,) but for *A I'm choosing OZ for the same reason-lounge access. 40k in 24 months for *A Gold and easy to maintain with 40k in a 24 month requalification period. Though, being outside the US, you might try UA's program, since you don't have to do the PQD requirement. Just dislike UA and am trying to not give them any business of any nature.
