Status is nice but not a priority for me.
Thanks.
I don’t know enough about AA, CX or JL to comment, but I think BA could be a great choice.
Earnings are usually good and as they have distance-based awards, you can get some great deals in Asia, and you don’t need a lot of miles for a redemption.
For example, I have redeemed 9000 Avios (worth ~100 USD) for KIX-PVG in JL coach oneway, which otherwise would have cost ~1000 USD.
You need to fly BA/IB to earn elite status, but if you don’t care about that, I think it can be a great choice.
Btw, greetings from QR172 ARN-DOH!
It’s my first time flying QSuites, and I am completely blown away. I think I might even prefer this over LH F.
