Thanks for creating this thread; I've been a longtime lurker, but I'm hoping for a little advice on the right FFP for me. I've been focused on MileagePlus this year, and I can easily meet their new program changes in place next year.

For members asking for information, to help people to assist you, can you please provide:

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Upgrades on travel #1
Extra baggage allowance
Priority services

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
This year 160K so far; next year will be 200K-300K over 100 sectors.


(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
Premium Economy for North America; Business for international

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Mostly for work, but I have some freedom on class with longer flights.

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often
Coast-to-coast US Domestic for the most part

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in an airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?

It has been United this year but no preference.

Thanks again!
