You don't get as many points, as you don't bounce in and out of London, but I much prefer them as an airline even though I'm paying more now than back in 2019.

My next flight will probably be in March - I only go once a year - and I may even move away from OW depending on prices, although Cathay are still looking OK to Taiwan.
