This thread is exact perfect for me right now, am fixing to enroll my fiancee as I am current UA M+ (with a measly 27k accrued), but she is virgin to any FF program and I would much appreciate your awesome offering of the brilliance of the FT masters!

(1) What is your home airport? HKG
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? Y/(As cheap as we can find)
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? usually ~25k, (this year have 4 TPAC flights, but are CA S class sadly so 50% mileage on all *A partners sadly as far I can see???)
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? nope
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Easy Award Earnings, somewhat long mileage longevity (~3yrs if possible?), ability to transfer/consolidate like M&M is nice, and if all else fails, the A3 benefits of a *G might be our last resort?
(6) Which routes do you fly most often HKG/LAX, HKG/PEK, TPE/SEA
(7) Preferred Airlines - Whatever is cheap (so for *A that usually means AC or CA )
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? fun fun fun (♫♪♫ till daddy takes the FF Miles away... ♫♪)

(right now looking at award charts, UA seems by far the lowest with only 65k needed for a RT HKG/LAX flight...any advice if another program would be better?)
Huge Thanks in advance FT, you guys rock! ^
