Any Oneworld FF programmes open to under-18s?
Dear experts,
Would any of you happen to know which (if any) of the Oneworld FF programmes are open to children? Mrs. TMT and I would like to enrol TMT Junior into a programme.
By way of background, we're based in Hong Kong (though not from Hong Kong - indeed TMT Junior has direct relatives on four different continents) but CX Marco Polo doesn't allow anyone under the age of 18 to enrol.
Thanks in advance,
TMT

Under 18's can be enrolled in the BA Executive Club as part of a household account.

Thanks
Thanks all - looks like AA may be the appropriate option then (it doesn't make sense being just in Asia Miles but not in Marco Polo, and the BA Household account has too many restrictions).

AA is a good choice so long as you don't expect them to earn status. AA has a minimum flight/mile quota on their metal, meaning you can't fly just CX/JL/QF and earn status. And given the future changes when the AA and US programs merge, who knows what you'll be getting. So unless you're needing a plan for pending travel, waiting a couple months might be helpful. But you could always change.

*Actually, a bit older than 16 months now, but I'm using the 16 for rhetorical purposes!
