Hello all,

This is my first post. I've been reading FlyerTalk for a while now, but still not sure which FF program to join. Thanks for any help!

1. What is most important to you in a frequent flyer program (FFP)?

The only thing I care about is being able to fly business/first class on 3+ hour flights.

2. How many miles do you usually fly each year? How many flights/sectors?

25000 - 50000

3. What fare class do you usually buy?

Usually economy, but want to start buying business/first for longer flights.

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

Yes able to choose. Travel for pleasure.

5. Which routes do you fly most often

Mostly Colombian domestic. 2-3 trips Colombia-USA and Colombia-Canada per year. 2-3 trips between Colombian and other South American countries per year (usually Brazil and Argentina). 1-2 trips between Colombia and Asia/Europe.

6. What is your home airport?

MDE

7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in a FFP, if any?

Have no miles.

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?

None.

What I'm currently thinking is to join LifeMiles, and buy up miles during their 2 for 1 promotions. This will allow me to get business/first class tickets in Star Alliance airlines, which seem to fly to all the destinations I'm interested in.
