The split will be about 50-50 between economy and business. I know I want to stick to OneWorld but I was wondering if I should move to AA. It seems like AA has better long-term plans and I plan to be in the US in the longer term (I’m only 22 now). Should I move to AA or stick to QA? Which has a better program? Any tips are appreciated.
One thing to note is that QR Gold gives you lounge access when flying on AA, whereas AA's own élites do not get lounge access in most domestic flights. I will let others comment on other aspects as I am not a member of either programme.
