Want to post this as a feeler to get your opinions. Im deciding between OW and *A.
(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
In Order: Baggage Allowance (I fly with bowling balls 2x ~51lb), Upgrades, lounge access, general service.
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
25000-50000 in economy. Only book higher class with miles.
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Economy, cheapest.
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Yes, i book everything on my own. Bowling is sort of my job, so its a mixture of both.
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
US domestic mostly (ORD and SEA to pretty much all parts of the country) with the occasional trip to Europe and Middle East and possibly a trip to Asia this coming year.
(6) What is your home airport?
ORD and SEA
(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in OW or other airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
AS MVP, with around 50k miles saved currently.
(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Alaska Airlines and their codeshare partners (Flew Emirates recently, but mostly AA domestic and British when connecting in Europe.)
Again, just feeling it out. The most important thing to me is the baggage allowance and by extension, the fees for overweight/extra piece. I have also flown with OW members (AA, BA, and QR) and really enjoyed the experience, which is why im more inclined to OW than *A. But again, it comes down to what fits my needs.
