Skyteam looking at adding / switching to *A...

Just curious about everyone's opinions as to which *A program is best suited when most of your annual qualify is from economy fares transatlantic/transpacific (up to 200k flown/year).

Been looking at UA, but looking at suggestions. Origin airports are IAH or TPA at the momnet, but this may change at any time to origin points in Asia or Europe..

Common destinations include BKK and LGW, and pretty much every major hub in europe (LH, LX, BD are regularily used, deep discount fares though). Asia wise, it seems like AC comes up quite often, and UA.

Objective is highest earning of usable mileage/SWU's. Lounge access appears to be a given (either I purchase a membership UA) or via qualify.
