Hallo,

I purchased for me and my wife each a Round-The-World-Tickets with Quantas and British Airways. Now I have the problem to chose a frequent flyer program to get e.g. lounge access at least for the last trip. I am planning to have just one account where I can book the miles for both tickets. Below I put in some informations into the questions.

Thank you so much in advance for your help.

(1) What is your home airport?
Reply: DUS is our start airport for the Round the world ticket
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? (<25K, 25k-50k, >50k)
Reply: Destinations are DUS-LHR-JOH-SYD-CHC-PPT-LAX-LHR-DUS
Four British Airline Flights (DUS-LHR-JOH and LAX-LHR-DUS) and four Quantas flights (incl. Codeshare JOH-SYD-CHC-PPT-LAX)
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
Reply: We have booked Economy (class B)
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or, class of service?. Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: Airlines have been chosen as above
(5) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific, Kangaroo, in Asia etc)
Reply: After the ticket I will not fly inside OW
(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: No status yet
(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 our last flight from LAX-LHR and Lounge access
(8) Preferred Airlines
Reply: None

I checked already Air Berlin, American Airways, British Airways and Qantas frequent flyer programs, but everything seems to be the same. Thank you very much again for your help!!!
