(1) What is your home airport?
Dublin
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy?
discounted business class fares
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year?
70-110k
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present?
LH SEN (will lose it this year with the miles for z fares going down from 200% to 150%) and EY Gold
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP?
best value mileage redemption to get long haul flights in a decent business class (no more sloped seats for me thank you)
(6) Which routes do you fly most often?
EU-SE Asia/S. Africa 3/4 times a year
(7) Preferred Airlines
Swiss/EY EY does quite a nice service from Dublin (nice hard product and like the Dub lounge and free chauffeur to the airport; i like Swiss but they only have one flight Ex Dub a day and the connection times to long haul flights are terrible on the way out; used to like LH but their business class upgrade needs to speed up. Quite like BA too but am biased as i'm just back from a flight where LH put me on BA F due to frankfurt being closed and really enjoyed the flight
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure?
Pleasure

Since the changes to M&M i have being putting miles into other programs; have maybe 100k in both EY and BA and in negative miles with LH (just had a F award on the a380). Id like to decide on a proper home for my miles that will reward me with good value C class redemption. I like the family account idea that BA and EY have as i usually fly with my partner and we can bank miles.

All advise welcome..
