1. What is most important to you in a frequent flyer program (FFP)?
Upgrades, Lounge access, priority boarding, baggage, in that order

2. How many miles do you usually fly each year? How many flights/sectors?
8-10x a year domestically, once a year internationally. Based in NYC, at least 3 cross country trips each year.

3. What fare class do you usually buy?
Economy.

4. Are you able to choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
For pleasure, and for family obligations/holidays.

5. Which routes do you fly most often?
NYC - LAX/SFO

6. What is your home airport?
JFK/LGA/EWR

7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in each FFP, if any?
No. I am very interested in doing a status challenge in June, if possible. I have a trip to Europe then, and then a trip to Texas and California the next months after that.

I have around 20k in Delta, 90k in JetBlue, 80k in Chase Ultimate Rewards via Chase Sapphire Preferred, and 600k in a family pool for Korean Air

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
Looking at Delta, United, and American. I am losing my JetBlue Amex, and need to replace it with another Amex. I am open to also getting a non-Amex card for flying (United, American, rewards card). Around 800-820 credit score, if that matters.

Ideal scenario:
-Find a status challenge that doesn't require me to have status at competing airlines
-Get a credit card that helps me get points for that airline
-Have it somewhat easy to maintain status (buyback, challenges, mileage runs)
