Hi everyone! Hope any experts here can help me with deciding on which OW FFP to commit to as I’m new to the miles and points world. I’m based in London now and am racking up BA avios points thru various means (amex, tesco, nectar etc) and has to travel frequently for work btwn LHR to Europe and US. I also have an MH Enrich account which I have been trying to work towards Enrich Bronze, and frequently travel to Asia using MH as I have family there. I’m in a dilemma now which FFP should I commit to. Avios makes more sense now as I’m based in London but looking to hear what people are suggesting!
