I was one of the fortunate fools who was able to take advantage of the USD $20.00 BA Europe fares at the end of last month. But as my departure date closes in, I'm wondering which FF program I should put the accrued miles into:BA, AA or AS.

With BA, I understand I'd get a 10% bonus for flying in WT+, meaning approx 13,000 miles that would be valid for 5 years. However, if I don't travel enough on BA within that 5 year period, and there's a good chance of that happening, those miles could go to waste.

The AA option would mean I could convert to HH miles at new 2-for-1 basis in '03, but no 10% bonus. And AS often has discounted rewards promo's that mean the 11,000 miles wouldnt be too far off free short haul flight.

Am curious to hear from feedback on the subject. I know I'm likely not the only one facing the same dilemma
