So I was looking as to which FFP would best suit me from these two and which would be easiest to earn status on. To me, it seems that BAEC is far harder to earn status on.

For example, BAEC levels are Blue, Silver and Gold (with Normal gold and GGL). QF is Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. However, I can earn platinum with one F return flight SYD-LHR on QF. If I do that same trip on BAEC I only get 660 TP's (without a stop over) and only earn Silver.

Is this correct? It doesn't seem right that the BAEC offer me far less status for the same flight as QF does. Have I got something wrong here?
