I'm relocating to HKG for work and will be doing a lot of intra-Asia flying. My company doesn't have a preferred airline but most people seem to suggest CX. I have about 100k in AA's MM program, although no active miles at the moment (I haven't used AA much after 2010).

Questions

(1) What is your home airport? (SFO, SCL, London LHR, HKG, Singapore SIN etc.)
Reply:

HKG, possibly SHA in a few years.

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? (<25K, 25k-50k, >50k)
Reply:

I anticipate 15-20 intra-Asia flights out of HKG for business, with 3-4 flights back to the States.

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

Economy for pleasure, business for work.

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

Yes, and yes. Most of my flying will be for work, I suspect, with some intra-Asia and return-to-US pleasure flights.

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

Intra-Asia, with a few Asia-US flights. Potentially 1-2 Asia-EU vacation flights a 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:

*G on A3.

(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, when possible, and lounge access. Redemption in J/F would be nice as well if there's an associated CC that I can use to charge work-expenses to get additional miles.

(8) Preferred Airlines
Reply:

CX, being based in HKG. Their transpacific service, I hear, is great. I really enjoy JAL as well (I used to fly JAL/QF a lot, as well as AA domestically).
