So I am trying to figure out which FFP should I be a part of now.

I used to live in the Chicago area so I was on United Mileage Plus (Currently at 23,500ish miles), since it is their hub.

I travel maybe 2-3 times a year and when I do travel I do earn additional miles with hotel and car rentals. Other times, I do take advantage of the the earn miles via dining a lot and I think other FFP has it.

So I have relocated to Boston. I take personal/professional trips within the US and Canada... and business trips to France (my company is based in France). I am currently booking a flight from Boston to Philly on US Airways (now on Oneworld and not Star Alliance), which makes me reconsider my regular FFP. And given Flyertalk voted AA to be the best FFP at the moment.. I am wondering should I switch and figure someone here can provide me with more guidance.

And also, since United is based rewards on airfare now... and I typically go with the cheapest option.. so unsure if rewards via miles (like on AA) would be better.

1. What is most important to you in a frequent flyer program (FFP)?
(e.g., upgrades, priority services, baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, lounge access)
Reply: Since I don't constantly earn miles, I am hoping something that I can keep active so my miles do not expire. I am mostly looking for good award redemption rates.

2. How many miles do you usually fly each year? How many flights/sectors?
(e.g., <25000, 25000-50000, >50000 miles and <25, 25-50, >50 flights?)
Reply: <25000/yr. 2-3 flights a year.

3. What fare class do you usually buy?
(e.g., first, business, premium economy, economy)
Reply: Economy

4. Are you able to choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: For personal flights, I typically go with the cheapest. If there is a small difference between flights, I would grab the fly with the one I am partnered with.
For work travel: Always economy flights, I can choose airlines flights as long as the price is comparable to a reasonable price.

5. Which routes do you fly most often
(e.g., U.S. domestic, transatlantic, intra-Asia)
Reply: North America mostly, with 1 transatlantic flight once a year.

6. What is your home airport?
(e.g., SFO, LHR, HKG)
Reply: BOS, PVD, BDL

7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in a FFP, if any?
(e.g., AA Executive Platinum, UA 1K, LAN Comodoro)
Reply: No status, But UA MilagePlus currently at 23,500 miles. Debating on cashing that in for a fit bit (well Garmin's ver of it).

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
Reply: No preferred airlines.
