Mainly looking for suggestions on either BAEC or QR
(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Lounge Access, ease of redemption?
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
60-80k miles, I do twice yearly QR J from CGK-JFK, booked on AA code. Rest I mix between CX Y and some domestic US AS/AA J/Y flights.
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Business on longer hauls, Eco on CX and short haul domestic.
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Travel for leisure, so have full freedom and willing to do status runs.
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
Mentioned above, CGK-JFK QR J on AA code, w
(6) What is your home airport?
HKG

My main concern is choosing between either QR or BA as they seem to be the easiest in earning status based on what I'm flying. I would earn around 270 Q points on a single CGK-DOH-JFK roundtrip and 600 BA tier points.
I would have a good chance of earning OWE in either of the programs. I currently have BA gold and a negligible amount of Avios in it but I have to go out of my way to fly the 4 sectors. I rarely travel to Europe.

I am expecting a move to the US soon, though, but I would continue to fly similar routes, except probably more US domestic.
