I apologise I have no idea how the AA program works, but from a purely flying perspective and being based primarily in Aus, how would getting OWE through AA be easier?
The only reason I ask is because I've had a look at Iberia, QR, BAEC and QF - and QF seems to be the easiest due to:
1. Lower tier miles requirement (1400 SC and only 1200 SCs if you are retaining it).
2. A bonus of 50 SCs at 500 and 1000 SC, reducing the required SC potentially to only 1100.
3. Double status credits offer – which doesn’t seem to be offered by others (apart from BA’s very complicated holiday double TP offer).
4. The ability for people who have Points Club to earn SCs through award flights.
I’d love an easier way to earn OWE than QF, which is why I ask. It just seems like QF platinum is significantly easier than many other programs to get OWE.
