Hi guys,

deciding if I should ditch CX and go for AA

(1) What is your home airport? (SFO, SCL, London LHR, HKG, Singapore SIN etc.)
Reply: YVR - Vancouver
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? (<25K, 25k-50k, >50k)
Reply: 25k-50k
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ? ( First, Business, Economy etc.)
Reply: Economy (most of the time) /Bus (<25%)
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or, class of service?. Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: I can choose airlines. Travel for pleasure and work.
(5) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific, Kangaroo, in Asia etc)
Reply: US Domestic mostly, to Asia from North America once or twice per year.
(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)
Reply: CX Gold, expiring soon as I haven't met the re-qualification requirements this year.
(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.)
Reply: Upgrades on travel, priority service when flying the airline, and able to earn miles on other carriers easily. (Just realized can't earn miles on my AA with a specific economy fare on CX...after booking and paid. grr)
(8) Preferred Airlines
Reply: CX/AA/BA

I guess if I'm flying mostly US Domestic now AA is kind of a no brainer.

Thanks!
