Hi,
My first post (after recently discovering FT), please excuse me if I misuse some abbreviations. I'm sure I'll get into it shortly .

I recently graduated, now work as a management consultant based in southern Sweden. I expect a bit of business travel the coming years, my company slightly prefers EuroBonus/StarAlliance flights. Personally I try to fit in a few trips to EU-cities a year, these are flights usually booked using Momondo (or similar service) with little regard for FFP. Any and all advice is appreciated, I have tried to fill in the questionnaire as good as possible.

Thank you in advance!

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: Lounge access, ability to convert points to trips

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: Less than 25000 miles, 15-20 flights

3. What fare class do you usually buy?

4. Are you able to choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
>>> Reply: 50% yes (pleasure), 50% no (business)

5. Which routes do you fly most often?

>>> Reply: Inter-Europe, transatlantic, to India

6. What is your home airport?

7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in each FFP, if any?
>>> Reply: EuroBonus Silver

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
>>> Reply: Not really (I do appreciate leg-room though being ~1.90/6'2'')

P.S. I'm currently shopping for a new CC and have moderate spending levels (~USD 1000/month), if that helps.
