(1) What is your home airport?
ZRH
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
Y, mostly in S booking class, unfortunately on SQ can't collect miles
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year?
Approx 40k per year in S Economy, much more in non-milage classes (thank you SQ)
(4) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Lounge access, upgrades
More information: I'm already FTL with LH and do like it, but with my amount of travel which is unfortunately split in between LH/LX (in S economy) at around 40k/yearly, 25k on EK, and around 100k in non-milage SQ, I would absolutely love to make *G so I could access the *G lounges.
I don't need to requalify on LH for the next 2 years, so I could easily use any program which has a 2-year qualification period.
I looked into TK and Asiana, which seems to have the lowest needed amount of miles, especially Asiana with only 40k during a 2 year period seems extremely low.
I've around 16 European flights (8 R/T on LX, giving me around 1000 miles with exec bonus there each) and a couple of intercontinentals. The intercontinentals will net me the same amount of miles with Asiana (minus the 25% exec bonus) but how about the European ones? With LX/LH, you get a fixed amount of miles (750) no matter how far the distance was for European flights, how would that be with Asiana?
I could hit *G with Asiana over 2 years apparently, when I just drop the intercontinental flights there..
How is the award scheme with Asiana, is it bad? I mean, getting *G seems so easy with them.. there must be something bad about it, no?
Or would any other *airline be better in my case?
Thanks for your help
