(1) What is your home airport? (SFO, LAX, MCO, etc.)
HKG
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? (C, F, Y, etc.)
Economy - All classes (depends on travel agents)
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? (<25K, 25k-50k, >50k)
25k-50k on *A
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? (UA Premier, M&M Senator etc)
None for *A. Recently zeroed my M&M balance.
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? (Frequent upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, good award redemption rates, free lounge access, etc.)
Free b-class or prem econ upgrades is a priority. Good award redemption may help, but I would prefer to cushion my long-haul flights.
(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific etc)
Transpacific - HKG to USA (60% CA, 40% rest of USA)
(7) Preferred Airlines
SQ operates a HKG-SFO leg, which is convenient for West Coast business, but then forces connections through SFO (and SFO alone) for other USA travel. Fares/flexibility becomes challenging.
BR is probably the fastest connection for HKG with non-stops to LAX, SFO, SEA, IAH and NYC
NH seems to have the most comprehensive connections to USA, but many flights are codeshared with UA (

)
OZ might have best probability for collecting miles on partners. Plus I fly HKG-ICN a few times per year.
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you chooose your airlines, class of service?)
Both, but work travel is generally restricted to economy class and sometimes discount fares.
Thanks in advance!
