Hi,

Long time AC SE (emerald equivalent) member, also have BD gold. Thinking this year to build some status on OW, rather than more on star (fly 150~200K miles a year)

Based in HKG but don't like CX particularly, so now having second thoughts about trying to get Gold on CX. Mostly do long hauls (HKG - US and UK &/or RTW's) 6+ times a year, usually in Y (with a UG on the long hauls), sometimes J.

Seems the AA program is more generous & easier to earn status, but I'm not sure I want another US-based program. Anything I should be aware of re AA/BA? Any other program worth looking at ?

Thanks
