Hi all,

Thank you in advance for this. I'm starting a good amount of travel (2 round trips monthly) for work, and starting from a blank slate with not much travel in the past. Would like to get opinions on what my best option would be here. As a noob looking to absorb as much info!!

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

Lounge access, priority services, good award redemption rates

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
I will be flying approx 2 round trips per month over the course of the next two years. Fly out Sunday return Friday 2 weeks out of every month.

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

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Airline most flown? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
I will be flying 99% for work (we can choose airline NOT class of service, economy only). Currently American Airlines most flown. Any pleasure travel is maximum 2 times per year.

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often
I will be flying PHL - TPA

(6) What is your home airport?
Home: PHL
Travel to: TPA

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in an airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
Only a few thousand miles banked in American Airlines. Looking to maximize the best option for my work travel.

(8) Preferred Airlines
No preference.
