I have Qantas Gold expiring March 2016. I do not foresee much travel in 2016/17 and would like to match my Qantas Gold to some program that I can later use for future match to OW or ST.
Turkish is an option but would prefer to save that for future. Any other option for a match that can be later utilize for matching to OW or ST?
Most of my travel is within Asia / Europe.

I suuppose you should get Alitalia, then hopefully before that expires something else will pop up.

Turkish officially only match One World Emerald which is Qantas Platinum.

There have been some reports of TK matching AB gold, which is OWS.
AFAICT, it's very much email version of HUCA with them.

I was also thinking of Avianca Brazil or Air New Zealand provide they could be utilized for future matches into ST or OW.
What are your thoughts?

I would go for Avianca Brazil. I sent my request in earlier this month still waiting for an update but some people already have the status. Does Air New Zealand even match?

In my case they might consider QF gold as a competitor.
My only worry is how good Avianca or Air NZ will be for future matches.
