Wondering which programme I should join now for most of my crediting...

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
(upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, extra baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, free - discounted lounge access, etc.)
Reply: lounge access, upgrades, baggage (in that order)
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
(<25000, 25000-50000, >50000 miles - <25, 25-50, >50 flights?)
Reply: <25000, <25 flights
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
(First, Business, Premium economy, Economy, cheapest)
Reply: Economy (for business), cheapest (for pleasure)
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: Have very little influence.
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
(US Domestic, Transpacific, Kangaroo, in Asia etc)
Reply: TLV-USA
(6) What is your home airport?
(SFO, SCL, London LHR, HKG, Singapore SIN etc.)
Reply: TLV
(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?
(AA Executive Platinum, QF Gold, UA 1K, LAN Comodoro, etc)
Reply: Nothing of worth (points in QFF and OZ - but nothing more)
(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Reply: None in particular


Thanks in advance, guys & gals!
I'd probably go with AA, now that AA has nonstop service to the USA (TLV-PHL, a US Airways route.) Unfortunately AA dropped its partnership with El Al, but you can still earn miles on other Oneworld carriers that serve TLV such as BA, Iberia, Air Berlin and Finnair.
