need advice
 
undefinedundefinedundefined
Hi there,
am in need of advice!
Hopefully you can sort through my info.
I am flying with my wife and two young daughters (aged 4 & 2) in May to London/Paris with BA.
I am a silver exec.club member and used some of my accrued miles to upgrade all of us to club world.
Late last year my wife lost all her mileage with BA (150,000 miles) as she didn't travel whilst having our two children.
All four of us are AAdvantage members as well QFF program.
We travel within the US as well as taking a trip to Adelaide, Australia once, possibly twice a year.
This is our first trip as a family over to London/Paris since we've had the children.
The quandry here is which program to add my wife & two daughters mileage from the upcoming trip?
They are not members of the BA exec.club (my wife still has a member # but zero mileage) - they cannot obtain mileage with AA on transatlantic travel with BA.
Is it worth adding mileage to their QFF accounts? My wife has only 2,000 miles, my daughters have 75,000 and 30,000 respectively.
Or shall i open up BA exec.club accounts for my two kids & reactivate my wife's account? They could then be able to receive the bonus BA is offering to exec.club members for transatlantic travel - isn't it something like 50,000 bonus miles?
Would like some thoughts on what to do.
Many thanks

Mark,

Welcome to FT. You'll probably get a better response (and from a lot more people) if this is posted in Milebuzz!. You may also get value from looking around the BA and QF forums.

Mark, thanks for the post. I'm heading out of the office to earn a few miles so thought I'd leave this post here in MilesBuzz! and see if some of our resident mileage geniuses might help you along. I'll check in later.

I can answer one question, the BA bonus is only for paid business or first travel. You wont get the bonus on upgraded seats.
