(1) What is your home airport?

ZRH/MUC

(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ?

As cheap as possible. Always economy, often mistake fares.

(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year?

Average 30k - likely to increase due to recent semi-retirement.

(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it?

None.

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

Low/no surcharges on award tickets.
Long/no expiry period.
Cheap Y-class redemptions.

(6) Which routes do you fly most often

Anything and everything. Average 4 long-haul sectors a year.

(7) Preferred Airlines

Doesn't matter.

(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure?

Purely pleasure and all self-paid.

So, I am looking for a *A programme with long expiry periods (which can be extended with activity), low/no YQ on awards, and reasonable redemption rates.
I am not interested in status, or premium class travel.
I currently have an SK Eurobonus account, with a negligable balance, and a Miles & More account, that I stopped using years ago.
