To me AA isn't an option as I very much prefer BA first to AA first and with an AA card I'd basically lose something as the BA transatlantics aren't counted (or is it still the case?)
Nowadays the 4 BA metal flights are actually a problem as my AONE-expiration is now in May and so is my membership year expiration. If I start a new AONE as I'm likely to do and do that before my membership year changes, then it's no problem. Otherwise it is as the BA schedule for HEL really sucks. A Friday afternoon BA HEL-LHR arrives so late I won't make it to the pub before 9 o'clock leaving a pitiful 2 hours for warm beer... And the morning flight 7:45 would mean waking up before 5 o'clock. No way.
