Hi, I'll probably be moving to Chile, so I'm considering joining one of OW FFP, so that I could collect & spend miles in LATAM. While Latam Pass is most probable, I'll be happy to hear any suggestions:
(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Qualification in low economy, spending miles in LATAM, lounge access if possible.
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
I expect to fly Chile - Poland twice a year (+ one additional RT this year) in sth around semi-flex economy, approximately 20 Chilean domestic roundtrips (SCL-ANF) in discounted economy + 5 RT within South America in discounted economy too
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Discount economy
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
I can choose the airline within Chile/South America and suggest (up to around 20% price difference) on TATL. Those travels are work related.
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
KRK-XXX-SCL, SCL-ANF
(6) What is your home airport?
SCL
(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?
I have some Miles&More bonus miles, but that doesn't seem useful in that case.
(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
LATAM
I generally think about LATAM Pass, but status validity perios makes me worry - if I get Ruby this year, it'll go away on 31 March 2017. I should be able to get Sapphire in the end of 2017, but well - again for 3 months only. But it'd give me a nice number of 800 KMs on Chile domestic routes even in low classes.
I was also considering BA - as from January they will have the most convenient connection from KRK to SCL, I can collect tier points for a year since joining, not a calendar year and status is valid for full year. But they don't give much for Chilean domestic
