I have the most at American, so therefore OneWorld, but also have alot at Continental. I used to have alot at Qantas too, but I don't live in Australia any more :) :( (where's the mixed feeling smilies when you need it!!)
 
Alaska Airlines if we are traveling on the West Coast.

United if we are traveling anywhere else. We have never had a problem with them and my dad loves them. Plus he has the highest status you can have with them so we are always getting perks. :D
 
I'm currently Premier on United Mileage Plus. Hopefully, I'll see a little more sky time later in the year. The economy plus seating and top notch service does it for me. When I'm not able to fly Star Alliance, I take AirTran Airways (a+). They have some of the nicest planes in the sky, and consistent high quality with their in flight service. Not to mention they have XM radio in every seat.
 
I love British Airways' service.
I fly BA whenever I can.
The flight attendants just seem more courteous.

I don't like any airlines in the States.

I was recently impressed with Air France, though -- they used to be awful, but have surprised me recently.
 
I've been pretty loyal to United over the years - I've been no less than Premier for the past 11 years, so it's been a long ride. 9 of those 11 have been Premier Executive, though I'm back to Premier this year, which kind of sucks - I got used to the added bonuses of Exec. Guess I'll have to up my flight miles a bit!

I got to Premier 1K last year for the first time and hope to keep it going this year. The most coveted perk of 1K, in my view, is something called the Systemwide Upgrade Credit. This baby has no restrictions. They give you 6 credits in a year which can be used to upgrade to the next higher class of service regardless of the type of ticket you purchase (and no miles are subtracted from your account). It also takes priority over people redeeming miles for upgrades.
 
Long Haul and Business with BA, although I fly mostly Easyjet :D

Yeah, me and my Burberry baseball cap, sat amongst the hen nights....
 
BA Exec club and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club are both good; I particularly like the Virgin clubhouses. I don't fly enough now though to get the silver card with BA, though when I did it was a good source of upgrades.
 
My most recent activity has been on Continental flights using my Northwest World Perks account. I already had 10,000 miles on there and due to pretty cheap SEA-ANC fares on CO I'm turning to them instead of some others like UA or AS.

The frequent flyer plan that I've used the most, however, is AAdvantage. I used to fly from SJC-CMI when I went to school at U of Illinois but now that I don't go there I don't really need to use AA for anything
 
BA Exec. works for me. I mostly travel short-haul to Europe on business. I prefer to fly Swiss long-haul but I don't do that very often.
 
To be honest I pick the best airline for the route I'm taking, I am a member of various 'frequent flyer' clubs though, AAdvantage, KLM Fly Blue and Singapore but often use their partners. I fly KLM most as they fly out of my local airport to Amsterdam Schipol, and from there I can fly anywhere, much better than trying to get to Heathrow *he says typing this in Heathrow's executive lounge awaiting a flight to Rio*
 
Maybe we should start a new thread, what's your favourite long haul business class airline, I think I'd have to go Emirates or Singapore :)
