Jeth Ho Welcome to FT

I would not agree that most freq flyer programmes are based on a calendar year. The requirement for getting status can be a lot different between ffp’s. For many flying on the airline of your ffp will get more status earning than with a partner airline. And as above, the 4 segment own airline rule common to many OW ffp’s Many people miss the frequent bit of an airline ffp (flying on other airlines)

The airline you fly most or an airline of the country you live is the best ffp for many people. Generally however you are better earning on your primary airline due to greater recognition, better service when disruptions, ability to upgrade flights and possible operational upgrades. Frequent flyer miles are not equal to earn or burn.

Earning miles from non flying activities is easier with an airline of your home country.

What do expect QR status (if you do not fly QR) to do for you?
Malaysia io other parts of Asia is not far, so little status earning or redeemable ff miles.
Note silver/gold etc are not the same between ffp. You need to consider the equivalent OW ruby, sapphire and/or emerald.
