(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?
At the moment, not really a significant amount of miles on QR Privilege Club and BA Executive Club (Blue).
(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Preffered: CX, QR, BA, AY Common: BA
With cheap ecomony fares and no status the chances of getting upgrade are nil to extremely low. Low to mid ranage fares are often not eligible for upgrades.
With non USA based airlines always expect to fly in the cabin you buy: upgrades are not given out like with USA based airlines.
Upgrades are usually only available with ffp miles/points on the airline flights of your ffp. Upgrades, with ff miles, upgrade instruments or free due to status on non USA based airlines are not common.
With a few flights it makes no sense yo have multiple ffps' More so if all are Oneworld airlines. Having multiple ffp’s with low balances is never a good idea. You never get enough miles to be of use before they expires. FFP’s are for the long term.
For most people BA would be a better ffp compared to QR for flying with low cost economy fares.
