Hey guys, been lurking for awhile now and I finally decided to register. I've tried to learn as much as I can from reading the forums but I have a loooong way to go. Figured this was a good place to start, any help would be much appreciated. May be limited because I don't travel as frequently as some others. I don't have any airline credit cards at this time, I have an AMEX for work that I would like to tie to a mileage program if possible.


(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
•Priority Boarding
•Upgrades
•Free flights
•Lounge Access

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
•Approx. 15-25k/year, mostly Y but usually C for any international travel.

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
•Whatever's cheap

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
•Yes, I book my own flights for work.
•Mostly work, 2-3 other personal trips per year

(5) Which routes do you fly most often
•US Domestic (several trips to Atlanta per year), 1-2 international flights/year

6) What is your home airport?
•PHL

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in an airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
•I have *G with Aegean and Turkish Air thanks to these forums. Right now I have approx. 25000 miles with Aegean, and 24000 with USAir.

(8) Preferred Airlines
•Asiana is my favorite but seldom used unfortunately. Haven't really been blown away by any domestic carriers.

One last point is I'll be flying OZ JFK-ICN Business Class next week, trying to decide where to credit the miles. Should I just tack them onto my A3 account at this point or am I better off going with another program? I'm *G for the foreseeable future with A3 so the only benefit there would be if I were to redeem for an award through Aegean at some point. Thanks again!
