Trying to decide for a OW program. Usually I'm traveling *A exclusive but a new project in Australia made me now fly CX J from HAM to BNE and I have no idea where to bank those miles.

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
for *A it is lounge access, fast track security etc since I'm hanging around airports quite a bit. For OW probably how to efficiently spend those miles. Probably won't requalify status next year

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

About 50 segments/year. Most Intra-Europen economy, 5 to 10 long hauls a year, mostly to the US East-coast.

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Intra-European economy, long-haul economy and one or two times business if the price allows it.

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Can choose airlines, but have to book the cheapest reasonable economy ticket. I can pay up on my own dime.

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
Not sure... as said, I usually don't travel OW much but as there is quite some business in UK on the horizon I could imagine flying HAM-UK on BA quite a bit

(6) What is your home airport?
HAM

(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?
SK EuroBonus Diamond (*A Gold), have a AB TopBonus account which I can upgrade to Gold before the outbound flight.

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
usually LH, OS, LX and of course SK. Could imagine getting in AB or BA segments

At the moment I'm thinking of either BA and qualify for BA Silver (my flights HAM-ZRH(first leg on LX)-HKG-BNE-HKG-LHR-HAM should be exactly 600TP) or AB and get those 40% extra miles for the Gold status.

Any opinions?
