Welcome to FT!

For starters, the answer to your questions is yes. You get miles by flying, signing up for credit cards and by shopping on the malls available on you airline's website.

Now, which airline is for you? All depends where you live, where you typically fly to, and what you hope to gain, ie status, domestic trips or international...
