I stick with Avion. Using one card only for purchases, I try and gain as many points as possible. Then take advantage of transfer bonuses to Avios and/or AAdvantage.

I find AP an exercise in frustration. Whenever I attempt to book, availability is either never there, or I get an itinerary with multiple connections and ridiculous flying times. Plus insane YQ charges.

AAdvantage is a great program btw. Fees/taxes are next to nothing. I have flown CX F from HKG to YVR for 67,500 points plus $16 in fees.

As with any FF travel, the hard part is never collecting points. It's finding availability when you want to travel. Takes a lot of patience and research, but the result is worth it. Flying around the world in F class is a wonderful experience.
