Hope to get some good feedback here. I'm considering a change from Delta and Skyteam for United and or American because of the amount of transpacific travel I do.

I like the Delta business elite product but would like more flexibility with partner airlines. Star has Singapore, ANA, Lufthansa, Turkish etc. While Delta has China Southern, China Eastern, China Airlines and all of which yeild partial qualifying miles (50-75% of base vs 125% for DL ticketed flights. Korean Air yeilds zero qualifying miles and if i want to book a DL ticket on Korean metal the price doubles.

I'd appreciate some insight.

1. What is most important to you in a frequent flyer program (FFP)?
Award tickets/Domestic Upgrades. I really love Delta's free Skyclub membership for top tier Diamond members but don't do a lot of domestic travel.

For 3 years I have flown more than 125,000 miles. So far in 2014 I have logged 160,000 qualifying miles.

3. What fare class do you usually buy?
International flights are booked in Business Class
Economy flights are booked in Economy

4. Are you able to choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Travel for work and can choose the airline and class of service (for trips over 8 hours). Domesitc must be lowest available economy.

5. Which routes do you fly most often
LAX-TPE (3X per year); LAX-ICN (1X); LAX-BKK (2X); LAX-LHR/CDG (2X)

6. What is your home airport?

7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in a FFP, if any?
I have almost 700K logged with Delta and am currently a Diamond member

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
I've stayed within Skyteam thus far (like Virgin Atlantic J product). Just recently flew Singapore (NRT-LAX) in j and really enjoyed it.
