" For AA, from what I read on fewmiles, AA does not give miles for M class only on CX and BA flights. Am I wrong "
It depends on where you set you residency. Have a look on aa.com and in advantage you will see the residency mile earning restrictions. They will give you miles from CX and BA if you set your country of residence as Canada. If you set it as Australia then you will get miles on BA but not CX , any other country will earn no miles for BA/CX in M class iirc.

You could join the AA scheme but just put Canada in as your country of residence. When you have got the points for the BA and CX flights, then change it to France. Sign up for the Platinum Challenge and you will get platinum (OW Sapphire) after the 1st 20,000 miles and then get lounge access and 100% mileage bonus there on

Can we sign up for the challenge from anywhere.
Is a phone call the only possibility?
As my trip will span over 8 or so months, I cannot sign up at the beginning as I will not get enough points within the first 3 months

yup

Its the only way I know of
"As my trip will span over 8 or so months, I cannot sign up at the beginning as I will not get enough points within the first 3 months"
Would you get enough to complete the gold challenge early on ( 10,000 miles ) and then be able to sign up for the platinum one after that?
You cazn sign up for it at any time. You could do the 1st bit without any challenge of course.
to see restrictions on mileage accrual , go to http://www.aa.com/apps/AAdvantage/Vi...artnerType=Air
(aa.com , advantage, partners & mileage programs, airlines ) and then just look at the details of each airline

err.. I'm afraid I must be stupid, I cannot figure what means:
B, G, H, K, L, M, N, V, W, Y, S, S2, S3
and such...
Do these guys know what a legend is ?
The AAdvantage section is huge and filled with sooo much information that I cannot find anything. Must be readable for someone who knows the stuff but not me.

They indicate the valid booking classes for mileage accrual. For Advantage members based in the US/Canada/Mexico and Australia these are valid for mileage earning on BA.
The 1st character of the Fare Basis will indicate the booking class. For a MONE5, the booking class is M which would be eligable for miles. For members based elsewhere, the MONE5 will not be valid for mileage accrual on BA flights.

Another small personal question:
I am currently Star Gold (LH Senator).
Do you think I can get a Gold or Plat comp with AA FF program.
Thanks</font>

Probably not, but you can undertake their gold and/or platinum challenge. Fly 10,000 miles in 3 months and they will give you gold status. Fly 20,000 for Platinum. On you itinery you should easily meet the platinum challenge .</font>

They haven't changed it. It is 5,000 / 10,000 Q-points which when travelling on an M class ticket requires 10,000/20,000 miles given that 1 mile accrues 0.5 q point.
