Should I choose Aegean?

(1) What is your home airport? (SFO, LAX, MCO, etc.) SIN
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? (C, F, Y, etc.) Y
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? (<25K, 25k-50k, >50k)
Normally, I will do few (2-4) SIN - CGK - SIN trips, normally I will try to do it on LH and SIN - BKK - SIN (normally on TG) for personal travel. Mostly done in Y unless there is some great deal on C.
May travel to some other destination for holiday also SIN-DPS-SIN (on QR or KL mostly)

This year, I will need to do SIN-TPE-SIN may be for the next 9 months. Most likely twice a month for business trip. Most likely I can try to push to fly SQ (although the company policy stated the cheapest fare, but normally we can push for SQ).
So this will be like at least 10-15 SIN-TPE-SIN trips.


(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? (UA Premier, M&M Senator etc)
Mostly regular member. QR Priviledge Club Burgundy

(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.)
The priority is in the following order:
1. Lounge access
2. Free/Priority upgrade
3. Good redemotion
4. Others


(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific etc)
As mentioned mostly intra-Asia. SIN-CGK-SIN, SIN-BKK-SIN, SIN-DPS-SIN, and SIN-TPE-SIN (for this year) and may be occasionally to Indian subcontinent

(7) Preferred Airlines
SQ, TG

(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you chooose your airlines, class of service?)
Pleasure - normally trying to get the "best" fare to accomodate the mileage
Work - Y class at the cheapest, but mostly can justify to fly SQ



I have been reading a lot about to get the *A Gold Status on Aegean. But, I think redemption wise may not be so easy for me. My question is once I get the *A Gold Status with Aegean, can I use the priviledge and collect miles on other program say TG ROP?
