Questions

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Lower redemption rate and lower fees(costs) when booking redemption.


(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How 25k-50k

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
Discount Economy & occasional business

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Both Business and Pleasure (business trips tends to be Emirates (EK)). Trying to decide between JL and QF since KE does not offer miles for the usual booking class for business trips.

(5) Which routes do you fly most often
PVG - PRG, PVG-United States, PVG-Europe, PVG-SE Asia

(6) What is your home airport?
PVG

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in OW or other airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
NO

(8) Preferred Airlines
CX, QF, JL, AA, EK

Note: Usually fly B or T class on EK which does not acquire miles on KE. QF and JL both gives 50%. Occasional personal trips on MH, CX, AA.

From my understanding JL has hefty fuel charge for award booking. Is the situation with QF similar? Any advise is appreciated.
