Provide the requested information.

1. What is most important to you in a frequent flyer program (FFP)?
upgrades, priority services, baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, lounge access, etc.
>>> Reply: Baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, and better award access. Probably the latter two in front of baggage.

2. How many miles do you usually fly each year? How many flights/sectors?
less than 25000 miles, 50000+ miles and 20-25 flights, etc.
>>> Reply: I just started flying more (some?), so this is a guess. I will be somewhere between 10k-30k miles and 10-20 segments. I'm hoping for the higher end, but it might be the lower end.

3. What fare class do you usually buy?
first, business, premium economy, economy
>>> Reply: Economy

4. Are you able to choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
>>> Reply: I'm self-employed, so I can choose whatever I'd like. It's my cash, though, so cheaper is better.

5. Which routes do you fly most often?
transatlantic, domestic USA, intra-Asia, etc.
>>> Reply: Domestic. Award flights would be mostly, if not entirely, international except for something like Hawaii.

6. What is your home airport?
>>> Reply: ACT, technically, but AUS, DFW, DAL, and even IAH are doable if needed. Realistically DFW and AUS will be used most. ACT only has AA.

7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in each FFP, if any?
>>> Reply: No status, and not enough miles yet to matter anywhere.

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
>>> Reply: I'm all but forced to use AA most since it's by far the most convenient and generally has the best rates in my airport options. So, this has made me assume OneWorld programs or AS. I don't really care for AA, but I'm not sure another is realistic to actually use their metal consistently.
