Hi! I am very inexperienced in miles collection (especially with OW) and the forum has given me already a lot of insights! I still have a few questions, so please have a look below if you have time :-)

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Miles redemption

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
25 to 40 flights a year

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

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Mostly for pleasure, and I can always choose the airline (when traveling for work with capped budget)

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
I live in AMS and me and my gf have family in ITA and FRA, so those are the places I fly mostly to

(6) What is your home airport?
AMS

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in OW or other airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
I recently flew Finnair and banked the miles in my BA FFP.
My company's preferred partners for APAC is Cathay, and I could earn Silver tier in their FFP without the need of actual flights with them. However I do not plan on flying with Cathay anytime soon (I specifically don't have the need to travel to APAC for work).

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
KLM-AF, which is why I almost never use OW.

In March I will fly Qatar AMS-DOH-SGN-DOH-AMS, and I'm wondering where should I collect the miles I will earn? BA? Cathay? Another OW airway?

Additionally, when in VTN I will take between 3 and 5 internal flights. These will probably all be with JetStar, part of Qantas. Will I be able to earn miles with them?

Last question I promise: when I was in Finland I stayed at the Scandic Hotel, which could earn me miles with Finnair. However I don't have a Finnair FFP; is it possible to request these miles with BA (or any other OW)?


Thanks a lot!
