I have 2 questions:

(1) What is your home airport? DFW, DAL
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? lowest
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? less than 25k usually
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? none
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? travel rewards
(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic
(7) Preferred Airlines - AA, but leaning away from them - leads to 2nd question
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? both. For work, it's mostly within texas, but occasionally outside of TX


I will be doing some large international travel in the next year, and am wondering which to join. I'm part of mileageplus already. Going to Bali and a couple SE asia countries, and am likely to book with EVA air (cheap and probably will upgrade to premium economy seats). But will be departing from IAH (wedding in Houston, leaving out of Houston). And arriving back in Houston. We also have a trip to New Zealand planned. And we will also be departing from IAH to Auckland and back [edit to add that the airline will likely be Air New Zealand]. So that's why DFW doesn't seem to matter regarding my question. So I have these 2 big trips.

For work, I can choose, but have chosen AA in the past since I fly out of DFW. But I could start choosing United for some of the work flights. Work related travel is less than 25k.


Actually have a 3rd question which was not answered by AA clearly. If I were to book on a oneworld partner like Cathy Pacific can I use my AA FF# when booking with Cathay Pacific's website? I got the impression I have to book on AA website to use AA FF#.

Same question with United MP. Can I use my MP to book a flight on EVA air? I think i can from what I read.

Thanks!
