Heya guys,
Recently relocated to the UK from HK due to studies. Wasn't really in the mileage/FFP thing but now I'm "free" from my parents I'm free to do as I please. Wondering what OW program to credit flights towards? Some Q/A answered below:
(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Reply:Good award redemption rates and or earning rates
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
Reply: Less than 20,000 miles per year...depends on how many times I'll fly home or visit relatives across the pond (Canada)
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
As a skint student cheapest would be the best but on a super long flight I wouldn't mind splurging out a bit for Y+
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Pleasure. I can choose my airlines
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
Longhaul to Far East, InterEuro or TransAtlantic
(6) What is your home airport?
EDI
(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?
None
(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
When I lived in HKG CX of course was my preferred airline. This year I took VS for HKG-LHR-EDI. Will have a return journey to take on the way back home this summer but after summer I'll be changing back to OW as VS will no longer do LHR-EDI.
