(1) What is your home airport? (SFO, LAX, MCO, etc.)

SEA

(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? (C, F, Y, etc.)

Whatever is available to get where I want to go when I want to go there. Where upgrades are unlikely, I buy y-up or first 50/50 depending on distance.

(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? (<25K, 25k-50k, >50k)

200,000 (180k on SkyTeam, the remainder on other airlines). In 2010 YTD - maybe 10k on United/USair, 5k on American

[I'm looking for a place for the *A miles; I'm not leaving SkyTeam]


(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? (UA Premier, M&M Senator etc)

Delta Diamond; Alaska MVP.


(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? (Frequent upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, good award redemption rates, free lounge access, etc.)

Place to stash miles when I have to fly non SkyTeam

(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific etc)

Domestic. SEA to Midwest.

(7) Preferred Airlines

SkyTeam: Delta, Alaska.
Non-SkyTeam: Continental
American because of Alaska partnership.


(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you chooose your airlines, class of service?)

Both. I have total freedom to choose whatever flight I want.
