Hi, I am interested in how to get fastest gold for myself (currently FTL *A) and my wife (no status). For quicker results below my answers:

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
priority services], extra baggage allowance, lounge access, free flights (from miles accumulated)

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
Myself: 25k-50k miles and 25-50 flights
My wife: 15-30k mile and 15-30flights

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
Economy

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Airline most flown? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Most flights: London/Edinburgh (BA) and London -> Europe (mostly LH / *A)

(6) What is your home airport?
LHR / EDI

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in an airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
FTL *A, Blue BA

One more thing: this month we are flying London - Sydney with following legs:

LON-TOK (BA)
OSA - Seoul (Asiana, Economy)
Seoul - SYD (Economy)
SYD - Cairns (Virgin AU)
Cairns - Brisbane (Singa, operated by Virgin)
Brisbane - Singapore (Singa AIR, economy)
Singa - Dubai and Dubai - London (Quanas, operated by Emirates)

From all potential programmes, I have narrowed it down to Aegean, Turkish and Asiana.

Given above

- Which programme would give me quickest gold (myself and my wife)
and let us easiest renew our status?

- As for Aegean, we can easily book our holidays via Athens and get the required 2 or 4 flights with Aegean or Olympic

- Might be a stupid question, but not quite sure if this works: lets say I get gold or ftl with Aegean. Can I still get into the lounge when flying LH and not the carrier I got the status with, i.e. Aegean or Asiana?

- Can anyone please recommend a miles calculator that captures all programmes

Many thanks!
Peter
