Would appreciate any advice on the CXFF program!
This is where I am. I fly CX most of the time to get to/around Asia, and discovered when experimenting with Asia Miles vs BAEC that it's definitely more beneficial to me to focus on AM. I'm looking at reaching Cathay Silver very soon having just switched strategies, whereas BA made meaningful status very hard.

I think there are valid reasons for choosing another alternative, but if you're going to HK a lot anyway or just prefer a nonstop to Asia from the UK it can make sense vs. many of the competitors.
