Hey y'all and thanks in advance for the help. I'm new to the site, and I would really appreciate some advice regarding which FFP I should pick.

I'm starting my first job out of graduate school in January, traveling 90-100% of the time. They told me I should be domestic my first year and adding in international assignments my second year. I'll be flying out of Houston so either IAH or HOU is fine though I prefer IAH due to bad experiences with HOU.

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Reply: Upgrades on domestic and international flights. I should have no checked baggage. Lounge access would be nice but I hear those are impossible on domestic only flights

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
Reply: I'll be flying out and flying in every week. So at least two flights every week.

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
Reply: Not sure, whatever clients will foot the bill for

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Airline most flown? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: Complete freedom on airlines. Not sure on class of service. I'll travel mostly for work but will travel for personal during college football season

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often
Reply: Houston to ?????

(6) What is your home airport?
Reply: IAH or HOU, but prefer IAH

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in an airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
Reply: No status

(8) Preferred Airlines
Reply: Any
