(1) What is your home airport? ILM, RDU
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
First Domestic US or Business Transatlantic if reasonable, Economy if there is an exceptional deal
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? The past 2 years I've been limited while in school. Previously I had flown 30K+ but I anticipate more with work and more money for personal travel.
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? I previously had US Silver but that was followed by the two years of limited travel so I didn't get to take advantage of it. I am working towards at least BA Bronze, possibly silver if I can get a decent run with AA.
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Reasonable redemption rates, extra PQM for higher classes, reasonable redemption on UA and partner airlines
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? I mainly fly in the US on the east coast and to the Midwest with maybe 3 transatlantic flights a year, but I think that will increase a little.
(7) Preferred Airlines. I had issues with US and United. I just used up the rest of my miles for the off peak US Europe redemption so I really don't have any loyalty to anything now. I would prefer a different airline if I could redeem on UA at a reasonable rate, but I am not sure if there is such a thing. Germany and Switzerland are the main two countries I'd be flying to in Europe.
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? pleasure now but maybe work later

BA's program seems to cater to exactly the way I tend to book things and their redemption rates are based on distance so the short domestic routes cost me less. I also like getting so much more for travelling in higher classes even if they are upgrades later on. I don't really think there is a *A equivalent for those specific things that make BA advantageous for me, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I got stuck in Newark on the way to Europe in 2012 and lost two days of my trip with UA so I'm not really holding out much hope for them as a good program.
