ticket price change all the time, this time star maybe cheap, next time skyteam could be cheaper, for your next trip oneworld could be cheaply. unless you fly a lot, it would be hard to maintain status in multiple alliances if price is a serious concern.
the best way is to forget about loyalty and just buy the cheapest ticket and then decide where to credit the flight to depending on airlines and booking class.
Appreciate the reply.
If I can see value in spending an extra £800 on the ticket because this time it happens to be more expensive but other times it might be cheaper, and also in the long run it is going to help with potential future upgrades etc, then I will do it.
Flying business class obviously gives lounge access so I am wondering if by sticking to one world for example, their FFP and Avios setup is good for claiming long haul business class tickets?
