New *A flyer (did fly LH and LX a while back but spent all those miles and elite status expired now) wanting help:

(1) What is your home airport? MEL
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy? business (work)/ economy (personal)
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? mainly have been oneworld flyer and been domestic within Aust. First trip this week MEL-SIN-MNL return in J - this may turn into regular route for me with 3-4 annually.


(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? LH M&M FT
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? lounge access/ miles redemption
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? MEL-MNL
(7) Preferred Airlines? SQ
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? 90-10

basically I think I should sign up to Aegean as it's the fastest path to *Gold. Is that true for my scenario? How is their miles redemption across *A partners?
