Where it is better to accumulate star alliance miles : Turkish miles & smiles or Lufthansa likes and more ? I am flying quite a lot in Middle East and south east Asia

Booking with Turkish is a huge headache, but they have great domestic awards and okay charts for the ME. Lufthansa isn’t useful if you’re not flying to Europe a lot

Super helpful info, thanks for sharing. Do you have any other rewards programs that you would recommend?

I've heard that Turkish Miles & Smiles is often quite overlooked but a really great reward program!

Accumulate avios through all their partner cards and use British airways to transfer avios to Qatar airways. Qatar flies to Doha and not to mention QSuites.

Random question for anyone who has ever exchanged/gotten a replacement away travel suitcase. Is there any flexibility to get a different color?
