What is your objective from a ffp? [ If you list free upgrades will be disappointed ]
What opportunities for on the ground (cc etc) earning of ff miles.avios/points?

QR, BA, AY as well as IB EI all use avios as the frequent flyer currency.. Avios, but not status earning, can be moved between these ffp, subject to t&c's. BA & QR have a closer relationship and can use avios by looking through to the other, without moving.

In Asia also have Malaysian Airlines MH, Japan Airlines JL and Cathay Pacific CX. And SriLankan UL & Fiji Airway FJ at SIN.
