Hi We have some upcoming flights and deciding between CX or AA for FFP
Usually we fly on Star Alliance but going to try CX (SIN to ICN) and QR (ICN to MUC)
Did some research but not decided on which is better for Oneworld FFP to be used between Asia/Europe

CX
- Higher point cost between Asia and Europe, compared to AA
- Able to select JL F 330 days in advance but higher cost
- Short miles expiry but able to extend through mall purchase of items?

AA
- Lower redemption cost for JL
- Short miles expiry but able to purchase points to extend?
- Able to select QR redemption

Thanks!
