BA or AB
 

Hi there,
with living in ZRH I will discontinue to put miles into CX but need to choose a new one for oneworld. Travel mainly in C class longhaul and in US economy.

BA (Avios) or AB (topbonus)? Which one to choose?

Why discontinue CX ? If the C travel on OW airlines you still may maintain any status you have. AB does not a high rating from most people

Thanks for the feedback. I asked again because of less reply on the general thread. Let's see may be some more guys given advise here. Really appreciated.

Too much like choosing a girlfriend for one answer to apply to all.

In my case I have ample supplies of AA miles and Avios but can't spend them. My usage patterns are too spontaneous for me to be interested in availability hundreds of days hence, thus usually nothing is available except "anytime" awards at a cost that sends me back to the full-price-ticket line.

Current availability aside, the uncertainty of future availability - on any carrier - suggests that spending flexibility is a paramount planning point. Along with picking a 'home' carrier that you'll buy enough paid fares on to obtain a status level that multiplies the miles you earn.

I would go with AA.
