Good morning. I need help determining where to post mileage for upcoming trips on Oneworld.
A bit of context: My partner and I relocated from San Francisco to Auckland, and our draw on United and *A isn't what it used to be. Before moving at the start of the year, we would travel a couple of times a year, once to either South Africa or Kenya for safaris, once to Europe, and typically once to Boston to visit family. I flew on either Swiss or Turkish for the international segments and on United to Boston. We purchase business class tickets for all of our flights and first on United's domestic flights. We don't like having to rely on the whimsy of non-existent upgrades. We made one exception when we moved to Auckland because the one-way business class fare from SFO-AKL was $45,000 USD. I simply couldn't justify the delta when economy seats on Hawaiian were $450 per person.
We have about $300,000 Mileage Plus miles which I'll try to use to get a business class award ticket for last-minute travel should the need ever arise.
For more context, going forward, we plan to do one flight to the US, visiting SF, NYC and Boston, and one trip to Europe, and one trip to either South Africa or Kenya. Travel will be in business class.
These are the upcoming flights on Oneworld airlines:
1) AA Flt 7285, AKL-Sydney, Business, R Class 1,345 miles, codeshare operated by Qantas;
2) AA Flt 7375, Sydney-LAX, Business R Class 7,488, codeshare operated by Qantas;
3) AA Flt 3138, LAX-SFO, First R Class 337 miles;
4) AA Flt 276, SFO-JFK, Business R Class 2,586 miles;
5) AA Flt 4605, LGA-BOS, First R Class, 185 miles;
6) AA Flt 6926, BOS-LHR, Business R Class, 3.265 miles, codeshare operated by British Airways;
7) BA Flt 460, LHR-MAD, Business R Class, 773 miles;
8) IB Flt 717, MAD-LHR, Business I Class, 773 miles;
9) AA Flt 105, LHR-JFK, Business I Class, 3,451 miles; and
10) AA Flt 7264, JFK-AKL, Business I Class, 8,828 miles, codeshare operated by Qantas.
The total distance to be flown calculates 29,031 miles.
My partner has roughly 100,000 miles in his AA Advantage account. Somehow, my account was canceled for nonuse or at least I can no longer log in.
We each have roughly 6,900 Alaska ATMOS miles for our economy seats from SFO-AKL, equal to one mile for every mile flow, back in January 2026.
Would we stand to earn more money on Alaska, AA or Qantas?
For travel to Europe, we could fly QF, CX, QR, QF/BA or maybe JL. To Africa, I suppose it'd be QF, QR or CX. To US, AS, AA, QF.
Any insight would be helpful. Thank you. Jim
