Hi everyone, I now have a Cathay diamond status but now that our company is going for the cheapest fares so need to fly on other airlines now. Can anyone give me some advice on which Star Alliance airline to join? Have now a Lufthansa card from way back but want to make a good choice based on your suggestion so ready to sign up for a new airline membership. Thank you!

(1) What is your home airport? (SFO, LAX, MCO, etc.) : Hong Kong
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? (C, F, Y, etc.) Now within 6 hours all economy Y
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? (<25K, 25k-50k, >50k) : 80k-120k
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? (UA Premier, M&M Senator etc): One World Cathay Pacific Diamond
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? (Frequent upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, good award redemption rates, free lounge access, etc.): free lounge access, good award redemption
(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific etc): Hong Kong to countries in Asia (India, Indonesia, Malaysia, JP, KR, Shanghai, Taiwan, etc..) and twice a year to HK - Frankfurt, redeem flights HK- Taiwan
(7) Preferred Airlines
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you chooose your airlines, class of service?) - mainly for work, can't choose anymore due to cost control
