Thanks so much for the advice. I may end up flying more than 50k but it’s not clear exactly how much business travel I’ll be doing with my new job, so I thought best to be conservative. I will not always fly discount fares but I couldn’t estimate the split for you.
Other things I should have mentioned in case they’re helpful. I’m also keen to use miles to upgrade from economy to business for long haul (especially for Australia and the US). I currently have personal UK Amex platinum but I’m not sure if I get to keep it in Denmark.
Also, I have tended to fly oneworld to this point (better routes for me and I prefer many of their airlines), but I’m wanting to understand my *A given that my new home airport and likely business travel provider will he SK.
Thanks so much again!

For long haul in biz the airlines you list below will give you free seat choice anyway.
OZ might still be a good choice, but watch for LH P fares and ultra cheap Eco or SAS light fares etc. not earning anything You'll really have to do the math here, don't think this is easy based on what you posted. Also check into A3 *G.
