One more bit of advice, if you can, try and concentrate on one, or at the most two, frequent flyer programmes, you'll maximize your ability to collect points and you'll hopefully be able to achieve FF status on at least one programme.
That being said, if you have to fly another airline or alliance, it's better to collect some miles, than no miles.
Frequent flyer status, before you have it, you probably can't figure out what the fuss is all about; after you have it (especially mid-tier or above) you'll wonder how you lived without it.
