Most of my flights are paid by company, except 1 trip to a vacation country (typically European) and 1 trip to the USA which are out of my pocket. For company flights, airline depends but I usually have discretion, as long as it's a major airline. Company pays for business class for any flight over 8 hours (which nearly all are)

(5) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific, Kangaroo, in Asia etc)
Reply:
Among & between Asian/African countries (primarily South East and East Asia), +1 european or SE asian vacation and 1 USA


(6) Do you have FFP status of any kind in OW or other airline at present? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP? (AA Executive Platinum, QF Gold, UA 1K, LAN Comodoro, etc)
Reply:
AA lifetime gold, ~700k AA miles. Primary benefit is reserving exit row (I'm 6'8") when stuck in economy. I'm DL diamond for the rest of the year, but with the spend requirement combined with the fact I'm only on USA planes once per year and nobody outside the USA takes American Express, there's no way I'll have any status (other than lifetime silver) after this -- which is why I'm realigning alliances.

(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:
I used to be all about status (and still am to a certain degree) so I could get lounge access and upgrades for economy flights my company put me on, but since I became an expat flying business everywhere the real value for me is having company travel miles pay for my flights to the USA / vacation trip each year
