Hi everyone, I am still pretty new to Flyertalk and this is the first time I'm ever even considering oneworld. I've been (and continue to be) mostly a Star Alliance flyer. However, I've now ended up needing a flight at short notice and found a Cathay Pacific flight that's way cheaper than the nearest *A flight that seemed acceptable to me. In short, I would like to know which OneWorld FFP is best suitable for just redeeming a few miles now and then. Here are my answers to the questions:

(1) What is your home airport? (CGN/FRA)

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? (25k-50k, but not on OneWorld, the amount on OneWorld would be just the occasional longhaul)

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ? ( Economy)

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or, class of service?. Do you travel for work and/or pleasure? I can choose my airlines and OneWorld flights would be pleasure.

(5) Which routes do you fly most often (mainly Europe-Asia, transatlantic also possible, perhaps the occasional Asia regional flight)

(6) Do you have FFP status of any kind of OW or other airline at present? What is it? none

(7) What is most important to you in a FFP? good award redemption rates, better award access, long validity, good recognition of booking classes (on *A some exclude anything even remotely discount, some aren't quite as strict). Lounge access, upgrades etc. are no issues as I doubt I'll be flying OneWorld enough to ever get any elite status.

(8) Preferred Airlines: So far considering Cathay, but no real preference, I'd be following the prices.


Thanks for the help!
