I'm not sure if this is the right thread for my question, but here goes:

(1) What is your home airport? AMS
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? C for work, discounted economy for private travel.
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? 100K
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? M&M Senator, Flying Blue Silver
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? 1. lounge access/2. upgrades
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? Mostly within Europe and occasional flights to US
(7) Preferred Airlines: none really, but have spent most time on LH and LX
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you chooose your airlines, class of service?) 80% work, 20% pleasure - can choose airline and class (except F)

Right now, I'm thinking of trying to maintain my M&M status as I mostly fly LH and LX, but is it worth trying to get *G status on a different program? Or should I place more flights/miles on a different alliance?
