At AA there is an unpublished benefit. When you earned 1 million miles (no matter if by flying or otherwise) you get lifetime gold status.

When you earned 2 million miles you get platinum life status.

So, when I earn 100k miles each year I will get lifetime gold status after 10 years, even if I've never seen an AA-plane from the inside.

It might even arrive before that. AA offers lifetime gold status when you reach 1 million miles in your account from any source (flying, flight bonuses, promotions, credit card miles, booking bonus), and 2MM will give you lifetime Platinum. UA has a similar program at 1MM, but only counts actual flight miles on UA metal.

Ah, yes, from Europe. You probably mean the short way around. :)

AA makes redemption from the US to NZ/OZ much easier through non-OW redemption partners like Air Pacific and Air Tahiti Nui. But that's the "long way around" from Europe so I don't know that it helps much from there.
