(1) What is your home airport? LHR - 75%, AMS - 25%
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy? Economy, discounted economy, seldom economy-priced deal for business ALWAYS FARES SO I GET 100% MILES HALF AND HALF business and economy class with standby upgrades to business (paid for)
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? 70-100k in actual miles, >50 segments, earn >40k TK miles/year I FLY 60-100K EACH YEAR
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? ROP PLATINUM
(5) What is most important to you FREE UPGRADES
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? LONDON TO BKK (RETURN)
(7) Preferred Airlines? TK, WAS THAI BUT I LIKE EVA AIR NOW.
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? I COMBINE BOTH !

I spend an absolute fortune mainly with Thai airways as once upon a time they were a good airline !
Having been a gold member and reaching platinum membership I expected to be looked after as a valid loyal customer, I have 190.000 airmiles from this year and I have NEVER once had a free upgrade in 10 years of gold / platinum , the only privileges that I have earnt were through loyalty,
I’m very disillusioned with Thai airways and am now looking for an alternative airline that values their customers

any advise would be great
cheers
