Oh for sure, yeah, AA has good redemptions, but I've avowed to never in my life fly AA ever again Their offers don't even show up on my radar. I guess it's helpful that they set a certain bar for other travel programs though. As it stands, my location (Houston) would demand I fly at least a piece of the leg with them, even if flying their partner airlines.
Idk, I'm quite happy with what flying blue is offering. Lufthansa is seemingly smoking some weird drugs right now, and United just plain sucks (but remains on my radar)
