1) What is your home airport? -- Kolkata ( CCU)
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy? -- Always lowest available Y class.
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? hmmm.. between 20-30k
This year, I now have a project that will take me very frequently to bangkok ( bkk) from kolkata (ccu)..I guess it will be about 15 round trips with each trip giving between 1500 - 2k miles.
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it?
LH M&M FTL valid upto Feb 2014.
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Good award redemption rates , credit for miles flown as many fares as possible..
(6) Which routes do you fly most often?
Till now mostly flew India - Europe, this year going to be CCU - BKK mostly.
(7) Preferred Airlines
Pretty open to all ..
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? Most of my miles will come from work, and redeem them for pleasure trips..
Note -- Thai Airways ( TG) has daily direct connections between CCU - BKK and at decent timings..My issue is whether I should fly TG ( as *S) and credit the miles to M&M or should I register for TG ROP and start from scratch ( considering I can get silver and maybe Gold this year) or should I open a A3 account. I want to accumulate as many miles I can to redeem for personal trips so thats the number one consideration for me.
I also hv a Jet Airways account and they too have daily direct flights in this route.. But there redemption options and availability is nothing great and hence confused as to what to do...
