(1) What is your home airport?
EWR, May become PDX soon

(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
Cheapest

(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year?
50k

(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it?
None

(5) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Priority Services, redemption, Lounge access - I don't really know what is "better" so to speak. I know that I'd like to get a free international ticket a year, and be able to board sooner, and would like input on whether lounge access is useful - as in usually I get no extra time at the airport, get there, take a flight, hurry to make the connection, and get going at the destination. Is lounge access good to have and why?

(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific etc)
US Domestic

(7) Preferred Airlines
None, really

(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you chooose your airlines, class of service?)
Work. Can't choose airlines yet.


I am trying to figure out if I should put my US airwars flight miles for a EWR-SFO round trip next week towards Aegean (for the lounge and gold status) or stick with US airways, or choose some other *A airline, like United, which has a hub in EWR.

Thanks a lot!
