LHR-HKG (BA)
HKG-BKK (CX)
BKK-SIN (QF)
SIN-DPS (QF)
DPS-DRW (QF)
DRW-PER (QF)
PER-MEL (QF)
MEL-AKL (QF)
AKL-SCL (QF)
SCL-EZE (BA)
EZE-GRU (BA)
GRU-GIG (BA)
GIG-LHR (BA)
All flights seem to have been booked into K class.

So I take it LA would be the best program for this itinerary?

Well, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that his QF flights will earn 100% on AA. The bad news is that the CX will earn nothing and the BA 25%. So on AA, he will earn about 17,500 assuming that the BKK-DPS and DPS-DRW are on QF or CX metal.

I would look at Asiamiles. Lanpass is a mixed bag because although you will earn on the CX flight, you earn only 70% on the QF flights. Same 25% on BA.

Here's LA's chart.
