Every time I think about this option, I end up with conclusion TK is unbeatable (90k EU to North America or the Far East award, huh). oneWorld is mostly spent-based and with dynamic rewards (200k award to the US, huh). AFKL used to be a fairly good program but it was devalued so much that (for redemption) that it is now not worth the effort. With my Company's travel policy (book cheapest of the day in C) and my booking pattern (well in advance) plus some leeway I get based on my seniority/position (so I can always book ^A) TK is the best value...
