(1) What is your home airport? LHR
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? Y
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? 25Kish +/-
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? None
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Lounge access, long expiration of miles
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? UK-Asia / Intra Asia
(7) Preferred Airlines? SQ/MH/TG/CX/QR
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? Both

I Basically do a whole lot of unproductive flying (it's about price, and normally Y!). I have a couple of accounts I need to merge (BA / QR), but I have a SQ R Suite one way SIN-LHR coming up, and with Krisflyer being unproductive I was trying work out which account to put it into. I've a bunch of other flights coming up (European, Asian, mainly discounted Y) that I can put into *A.

I guess SQ/TG/TK most closely match my needs but SQ are hardly generous. TK give 200% on the R class award - but I need 25k & 40k (??) for Gold? So I guess A3 @ 160% is best - but I don't get anything on my standard SQ Q/V or TG W class cheapies (but would I anywhere?).

Anyway, help?!
