Questionnaire
In order for FlyerTalkers to better assist you, please copy and paste the following questionnaire into your post and provide the requested information:

1. What is most important to you in a frequent flyer program (FFP)?
good award redemption rates, better award access

2. How many miles do you usually fly each year? How many flights/sectors?
We are a family of 5, and we usually take 2 or 3 flights to visit grandparents (1600 mile trip) each year. Southwest has worked well for these kinds of trips for us. We also like to take one or two vacations elsewhere with flights of varying length. I would really like to be able to take all 5 of us to Europe. I'm mostly interested in a program that could get us to Europe.

3. What fare class do you usually buy?
economy

4. Are you able to choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Yes, we can choose airlines and travel for pleasure.

5. Which routes do you fly most often
We most often fly domestic, ATL-SLC, but would like to travel to Europe in the summer (we are flexible about where in Europe) and possibly to the Caribbean in the winter with our children.

6. What is your home airport?
ATL

7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in a FFP, if any?
Between my husband and myself, we have:
245,000 MR
192,000 UR (which we will probably transfer to Southwest)
220,000 AA miles
70,000 US Airmiles

No status on any airline.

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
No preference, I just try to get where I'm going cheaply and conveniently.

Even though we have lots of points accumulated, we have problems finding award tickets for 5 people. Our kids' school schedule limits when we can travel as well. Is finding low level awards just going to be impossible? Or is there a frequent flyer program that would be best for me to stick to?
