Hi all,

I'm currently a BAEC Silver, although with the recent changes I am not sure I will be able to retain my status and I am thinking to change my FFP.

Qatar Privilege Club seems the most obvious choice.

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?

mainly priority services when flying the airline, possibility of using miles for discounts/upgrades and finally lounge access

It is also important to be able to maintain status.

Reply:

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?

more than 100k miles in about 60 flights (40 short haul - 20 long haul), 95% of the time in economy cheapest

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?

I do get occasionally business class on the short haul (3 or 4 flights in total) the remaining time I'm on the cheapest fare

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?

I can choose the airline, i cannot choose the class of service, unless the difference in price is reasonable, I travel 90%of the times for work

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?

Mostly in Europe, plus one flight to Australia, 2-3 to far east, 2 to the Americas and 2 the middle east normally with Qatar Malaysia Airlines or Emirates(going east) or BA(going west)

(6) What is your home airport?

LHR, LGW, LCY

(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?

BAEC Silver and spent most of my miles, Emirates Skywards Silver with currently 17000 miles

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?

In Europe BA, to the east I try to fly Qatar whenever possible.
