I usually bank all miles into ba and I have amex ba card, but I don't fly ba a lot. I usually fly qr/cx to pvg/hkg three times a year that bring me a ba silver and sometimes to ba gold. But as it now takes longer to fly to hkg and pvg, I recently changed to etihad as the price is about 800 pounds cheaper and I can take a rest in auh etihad lounge.
8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
>>> Reply: ba/qr/cx/ey ; I am not sure if I should keep my ba status and continue fly qr and cx, as they offer better food and lounge quality and as ba gold I can use the first class facilities or fully put all my flights to etihad as it is cheaper and I can reach plat.
