Hi!

Appreciate any advise on the following case:

Friend is relocating to a place outside Toronto, Canada.
Currently Miles and More member with only 6k miles and no status - residing in GER. Happy to switch programs.
Expects to fly 6+ round trips between Europe (probably FRA/MUC) and Toronto (YYZ?) in Y each year. Probably 1 to 2 trips to PEK in C.
Employer is locked up with *A.

Prefers nonstop flights (LH and AC is serving FRA-YYZ and MUC-YYZ).

Will probably get into credit cards in Canada (not used in GER today) - might be an opportunity for further milage accrual/status?

Many thanks for any advise!
Below are the responses on the standard questionaire.

Cheers!
