Ha! OK, I goofed… British Airways is the only Chase partner I can use for OneWorld awards… anyway I have the most advantage Miles of any one OW partner, followed by British Airways, and then Alaska and Qantas — each with hundreds of thousands of miles.

The question really was about burning Alaska miles versus burning AA miles, but it can be expanded to British Airways miles and Qantas miles, because that’s what I have… but let’s eliminate BA miles from this question because being from Boston, I can fly nonstop to London first class and beyond so I will save my BA miles and I have a BA Visa card where I can get two for one redemptions

Again, I value Miles most highly for first class international flights…whether for Oneworld airline or partner airline award redemptions.

does anyone see pockets of batter/more advantageous international first class award redemption opportunities using Alaska versus American versus British Airways versus Qantas miles… Because if you do, those are the miles I want to retain and if you don’t, then I might as well burn from the biggest bank?
