(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
upgrades on travel, award trips, good award redemption rates, the best value
<snip>
(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in an airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
No status....yet
(8) Preferred Airlines
Virgin, SW, AA, DL
The chance of upgrade are low. Helps if you have high status, which you are unlikely to get with revenue based ffp's
Are you a member of any ffp now? (AA or DL or VX?)
Virgin America is being taken over by Alaska AS
AA & DL are (currently) both freq flyer partners of Alaska AS.
However for years on FT there have been posts about DL & AS going there separate ways (no longer ff partners)
Alaska AS has a good ffp, that suits many
