Morning,
We travel to Australia every 18 months or so, and like to try and rack up points / status if we can. Would normally choose Qatar from Scandinavia where a J return gets us straight to Oneworld Sapphire, but this year prices weren’t great, so we’re doing SQ ARN-CPH(SK operated)-SIN-MEL

Where would we be best off crediting? I have Eurobonus as I got to Scandinavia a reasonable amount, but by my calculations the trip will net 35000 ish basic points so not enough for status in star alliance. Are there any other programs that would serve better? Redemptions are always good but I’m more bothered about lounge etc. Happy to do some mileage runs / qualifying flights in Europe to add it up.
