I'm *A Silver through UA, but pro'ly won't make Gold this year. Considering switching programs next year because of UA changes - maybe Asiana or something like that (seems easier to qualify for status on Asiana if you fly consistently).


(1) What is your home airport? LAX

(2) What types of fares do you usually buy? Usually discount economy.

(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? 20k-50k

(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? UA Silver (at 42k miles - unfortunately pro'ly won't make 50k before Dec 31)

(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Elite Status plus Award Redemption (although I get more miles from CC so I can credit them wherever)

(6) Which routes do you fly most often? LAX-JFK, LAX-NRT, NRT-ICN, NRT-SIN, LAX-SIN, LAX-ICN

(7) Preferred Airlines: Any that allow me multiple itinerary changes - that's my most important criterion because my schedule changes a lot. Asiana, Korean, Singapore (although tightening up lately), etc.

(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? both
