(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Priority services, good award redemption rates, free lounge access, possibility to receive *A gold for lifetime if I travel even more later.
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? European, Transpacific
(7) Preferred Airlines: I have no preferred Airlines.
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? I can choose my airlines and class of service. I mainly travel for pleasure.
May I ask what destinations outside Europe you fly to? (Transpacific = TPAC usually refers to flights between Asia/Australia and North America, I guess you mean flights from Europe to Asia/Pacific?)
With 30k-45k miles / year your best option to earn *G status are:
- Aegean (16k/18k miles)
- Turkish Airlines Miles & Smiles
- Asiana
- Aeroplan (35k miles)
TK and OZ both require something like 30k miles/year, but youŽd have to look up the exact requirements...
Asiana also offers a very interesting lifetime elite status program which counts all *A flights. (UA and AC also offer lifetime status, but only count flights operated on their own metal)
From the info youŽve provided IŽd probably go for OZ, but IŽd also check out the other options.
