I will begin to fly more on BA than Star Alliance in the future and I am looking for the best program to put my travel in. It is mostly inner-european flights with BA, and it will be Economy (company rule )

What programm would be best?

Thanks for your help
There are a couple of questions for you that will help provide quality responses from people here:

Are there any OW carriers (other than BA) with which you will fly at least four paid flights per year? FF plans from OW carriers normally require that you fly a minimum of 4 (qualifying) flights per year on their own aircraft. This is likely to reduce your choices to BA plus those. (BA is not inherently a bad choice, especially with an EU base, but it may also be your only practical choice.)

Does your company rule restricting you to Economy flights mean that you get flexible economy (Booking classes Y, B, or H) or the cheapest that they can get? (BA's Executive Club is notoriously mean if you fly primarily in low-cost economy.)
