Hello, I am not exactly a Frequent Flyer, I am mostly a backpacker hoping to find ways to use miles as a travel hack, I have about 24k miles with TK Miles&Smiles from my last trip and I am looking to switch to OW now that JJ is switching and I also have a flight booked with QR for later this year. I am also considering doing some mileage runs to get some small trips in and upgrade status.

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Getting the most redemption flights out miles and travel hacking
Reply:
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
Reply: <25k Economy
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
(First, Business, Premium economy, Economy, cheapest)
Reply: Economy/Cheapest
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: Pleasure, mostly I don't choose airlines
(5) Which routes do you fly most often
Reply: Domestic Brazil, Asia
(6) What is your home airport?
Reply: CNF near home, GRU for international
(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?
Reply: No.
(8) Preferred Airlines
Reply: Not any in particular, I'd say domestic would be AD.

Basically I am considering using most out of OW with JJ now, I've considered using Lanpass over it as I am hoping to get international flights in redemption and I am a bit of a newbie to know which one is better and has less surcharges for redemption. I've seen many blogs recommending AA which is good for me because they fly to CNF.
