I'll be taking several BA flights next month - outbound EWR-LHR O and inbound FAO-LGW S / LGW-JFK O on one reservation, and LGW-OPO O on a separate reservation. Although I have a decent BA Avios balance, this is my first time flying BA. Suggestions on where to credit my miles? I should probably credit something to Iberia to activate my Iberia Avios account, but what about the rest?

Not even the short LGW-OPO run to Iberia, for activation purposes?

AS are worth much more, transfer 1k MR to activate your Iberia account.

Wrong thread but why don't you give us what both are gonna cost and we can try to help you figure it out.

I found that this thread is really good for the same info that wheretocredit gives you. Once you have that information, there isn't much help DDFers can give. It really depends on your personal flight habits.

Use the Emirates miles calculator.

Can I credit miles from a DL flight to AS before hand? If so, I dont see anyway to do it online on Delta.com.

when you book the flight there is an option to put in an AS mileage number, afterwards i think you must call to add it
