I guess I am like the majority of people here (based on the poll) who hate the QFF changes and consider moving to another FF. But what is a good alternative for oneworld affiliated FF?
In my case, my travel is mostly in Asia Pacific by QF/CX/SQ, so my immediate option is to consider CX, but from my quick oomparison, I am not convinced that CX Asia Miles/Marcopolo is better than QFF. Here is my key conclusion ...
QFF will burn more points than MCP (roughly 1.5x, eg SYD-HK 60K QFF vs 45K MCP), but on elite level also earn more points than MCP. MCP doesn't provide elite bonus. With my QFF Gold, I earn 50% elite bonus, so I figure my points earning is also 1.5x MCP. So although I am losing out from the QFF changes, I am not much better with the alternative.
Do I miss some key considerations? What are the rest of you considering with your FF move decision? There must be more to this that I am sure I have missed out.
