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.
BA, QR & CX are all Oneworld partners. So little logic to getting both BA & CX status, when top OW Emerald status would get some of you item 1 objectives. The airline you fly and the airline you credit to does not need to be the same.
Flying business class status does little for you.
Avios is used by BA QR IB AY and cab be moved between the ffp's.
BA Gold = OW Emerald (top level) CX silver = OW Ruby (3rd level). However for low cost CX flights can credit poorly to other ffp's.
EY is a partner of several airlines. Including OW airline AA. But not in a big alliance
