Aware me on my options please ...

[bigjobs]

here is an itinerary I am booked to fly in the coming weeks. It's with Thai, Turkish and Singapore Airlines. I don't normally fly any of these and I am not a member of *Alliance.

Should I join a Star Alliance program? What are best seats on these carriers in Y? etc etc. I have included booking classes. I'm not especially bothered they are in Y, as the longest flight is only a touch of 10 hours.

Cheers in advance.

I think Jessica tam is ontop of this, chop chop, time is off the essence.

You need to join the alliance via one of their members, Turkish is the best option you have.
