(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?
Reply: Silver on Malaysian Enrich, but they're about to devalue their points so I need an alternative asap with flights coming up this year. I also have Emirates Skyways - and I just opened Singapore and BA accounts recently as well. Jet airways in India too.
(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Reply: It used to be Malaysia Airlines, but since their product is not particularity great anymore, and they are massively devaluing their points - it remains any airline right now. There are plans to go to North America and Melbourne this year, so I would be looking at One World partner or direct airlines.
You can fly one airline and credit the ff miles to another airlines ffp. Too many people assume the airline you fly and the ffp you credit the miles to need to be the same. They do not need to be. But ff miles on partner airlines can earn less.
For good award cost and low co pay fees, (unless on a BA flight) is hard to go past AA. BA is good for short haul awards for some people.
Why did you join the BA ffp (OneWorld)?
Upgrades with miles, if any, are generally only available on the airline of your ffp. Not partner airlines. But there are exceptions. Read post 1
