Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and I'm kind of new to FFP strategies. I travel ard 4-6 times a year and ard 1-2 long hauls per year. Usually fly budget airline on short hauls. I'm looking for the best FFP to use. Correct me if I'm wrong, I should have 3 main FFP accounts, 1 for skyteam, 1 for oneword, 1 for star alliance right? If so, I'm looking for the best in each alliance for me.
Below is my answers to the questionaire:
(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
good award redemption rates, better award access
I don't need upgrade or lounge access. Most if not all of the time I m looking for booking award tickets.
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
(<25000miles - <25 flights?)
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
(cheapest ever, often budget airline)
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Airline most flown? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
I'll choose the cheapest. But hey since miles sometimes worth a lot, I'll see. Now I learn about fare class. Travel for pleasure, no special airline flown.
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often
varies widely, usually from Asia to rest of the world, or inter Asia.
(6) What is your home airport?
HKG
(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in an airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
minimal. 1000 in Miles & More, 1000 in Lifemiles, 4200 in Skymiles, and approx 20000 miles worth of points in 2 different credit cards (Citi, DBS - but can only transfer to Asia Miles / KrisFlyer / Skymiles)
(8) Preferred Airlines
No special.
Thanks!!!
