I`d go with IB unless getting your dog on BA flights hasn't been a problem for you.
Or stay with AA and employ some workarounds to get around the revenue requirements such as booking partner codeshares (if those exist on your routes!) where EQD/EQM/RDM earning remains distance-based. This works especially well for longhaul flights in premium cabins. A few good leads are in the 'AA EQD runs' thread: 2017 AA EQD Run
Hi thanks for the answer, and sorry for the late reply.

Getting the guide dog on BA is not a problem.
The four segment minimum BA Executive since can also be obtained via IB flights is not a problem and easily done (a couple of shuttle flights BCNMAD do the trick).

Staying with AA poses a double challenge the miles and dollars (thanks do follow the AA MR discussion board).

Having said that still trying to decide on what my best bet is if BA or IB... Will have to do a little spreadsheet analysis to compare.

Thanks...

Any further input on wether IB or BA do appreciate.
