First of all, I appreciate everyone's willingness to help. It's a big reason I finally registered after years of merely lurking.

I'm currently Gold on A3/:-:A. And since it doesn't take much to maintain my A3 Gold, I wanted to find another program to dump my new miles into. I figured it would be smart to see if there was anything feasible for me with One World.

(1) What is your home airport?

In a few weeks it will officially be ICN for a while. When I'm stateside, it's PDX.

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class?

I'd say I average just over 25k in Economy per year.

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ? ( First, Business, Economy etc.)

Nearly always Economy.

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or, class of service?. Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?

I'm almost always flying for personal vacations. And the few times it's specifically for work... I buy my ticket, but it has to be Economy.

(5) Which routes do you fly most often? (US Domestic, Transpacific, Kangaroo, in Asia etc)

I'll probably only make 1 round trip back to North America per year and the rest of my flights will mostly be around E/SE Asia.

(6) Do you have FFP status of any kind of OW or other airline at present? What is it? (AA Executive Platinum, QF Gold, UA 1K, LAN Comodoro, etc)

Just :-:A: A3 Gold.

(7) What is most important to you in a FFP? (upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, extra baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, free - discounted lounge access, etc.)

1. extra baggage allowance
2. low qualifications for maintaining status.
3. not having to worry about my miles expiring.

(8) Preferred Airlines

I really haven't experienced too many that have won me over (yet). In the states, I've probably had better experiences with Alaska Airlines more than most other ones.

I'd just like to have a OW option to add to my :-:A Gold status... something that would be useful in Asia and the US.

Thanks in advance for your help!
