Can anyone share the relative merits of each? I'm gold (2100 TP) so whilst the TP are not a huge influence (I've no chance of getting GGL at 5k) the Avios are fairly important as I'm saving for a decent trip (I currently have 230k Avios).

I've flown BA to Seattle and I've flown EK to BLR via DBX before, but I've no experience of QR. QR do a direct to DOH but I don't mind going via LHR (my home from home at the moment).

Oh, and I've never been on an A380, so add that into the mix :-) I don't know what kit BA or QR would use for that routing (not looked in detail at flights yet).

Comments welcome, and many thanks.
