Hi all,
I'm really trying to figure out with all of the changes for 2015 if I want to stay with United, or move to another program. I've typically been thinking about either AA or AS. Majority of my flying is domestically in the US, but I do 2-3 trips to Asia each year as well. Any feedback is appreciated.

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

Reward availability, upgrades, lounge access domestically, mileage bonus

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

Typically 70 - 100k miles depending on the year.

3. What fare class do you usually buy?

INTL - Business
Domestic - Economy

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

Can choose airline, don't get to choose class its always business internationally and economy domestically. Travel for work (70%) and pleasure (30%).

5. Which routes do you fly most often

LAX - DTW
LAX - GSO
LAX - ORD
LAX - HKG

6. What is your home airport?

LAX

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

UA Platinum (250k miles)
AA (20k miles)
AS (30k miles)

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?

Long Haul - CX & SQ
Domestic - Have only flown UA/CO for the past 5+ years
