To BA or not to BA?

[Not Long Now...]

Collective wisdom, just pondering who I would be best off crediting my flights to, before I default to BA, am I missing a trick elsewhere?

I have business class MAN-HKG-MEL, MEL-HKG-LHR-MAN (LHR-MAN in economy).
I will be BA silver when I take the flights, but would I be better off crediting to CX, QR, or indeed elsewhere, or, as I’m guessing, just stick to BA and regain Silver for another nearly two years.

You haven’t posted your ticket class but you might get enough for Alaska MVP gold on that trip. That’s the equivalent of Oneworld Sapphire without BA’s requirement to fly 4 times on their metal.

Plenty of blogs around discussing whether it’s worth it.

I credit to American because their Qatar 1 stop flights from MAN are still 55k miles to South Africa in Biz for example.

Thanks, they’re in I…

You would need a maximum of 3 BA flights on top of that booking to retain Silver I think, so I think you’d need a pretty good reason to credit them elsewhere.

If you get a few more redeemable miles on one scheme or another, so what? You’ll earn more getting a new credit card.

Additionally if you’re Silver on BA you’ve presumably got an Avios balance already one larger balance is worth a lot more than 2 smaller separate ones.

We also don’t know which airline you are flying with LHR-HKG. You might meet the 4 flight requirement if it’s on BA metal.
