(1) What is your home airport? SEL currently, soon relocating to MEL
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? Y, usually discount fares
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? <25k, probably will go up to about 25k
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? OZ Club Gold
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Priority services, Lounge access. Upgrades would be nice.
(6) Which routes do you fly most often Once I relocate, Australia->Asia, US(east coast)
(7) Preferred Airlines TG, OZ, SQ but will fly anyone decent that is generous with miles
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? Pleasure

I have about 90k miles towards lifetime D+ with OZ, but given how much I fly, it's pretty much a non-issue. I can't seem to decide if I want to switch over to QF or stay with *A given the network in Australia. I have PriorityPass for now for lounge access but that's pretty much useless in Australia and the US.

I'm normally willing to take extra connections or pay extra (within reason) to fly on my favored carriers though. I'd like to upgrade every now and then but OZ doesn't even fly to MEL which is a bit of a concern (and *A upgrades require a Y fare, which at that point you might as well buy discount business).
