As previously noted, your ability to maximise elite benefits will depend on what FFP you join.

Ok. Here goes. If it were me flying mixed Y/ J and I had to make a decision NOW, then given the information received so far I'd probably plomb for Thai. Reasons include that I can get from MEL-SIN via BKK easily at not too much expense. I love Thailand and have no problem routing via there for the odd stopover. Fares ex. BKK are cheap - so it's a good place for nesting tickets. I've heard that TG treat their RG members well with generous upgrades, and I'd use the TH upgrade coupons (following status) for the new direct BKK-NYC flight.

Of course this is making a decision NOW, and things could change tomorrow. Hope this helps.
