Hi all, I'm inquiring for a family friend -- I've tried to provide as much info as possible and please feel free to ask for clarification Thanks in advance!

(1) What is your home airport?
PEK (China), GRU/GIG (Brazil), this may change every few years due to work.

(2) What types of fares do you usually buy?
C for work, mostly Y for pleasure.

(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? (<25K, 25k-50k, >50k)
~50k.

(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it?
ST E+: FB Gold, *A: CA *S (used to be *G but did not fly enough on *A to requalify this year).

(5) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Award redemption -- we'll mostly redeem *A tickets for the South American region for now, but due to work, this may change significantly (say to the Europe or Asia region) and we'd like to be able to redeem awards as easily as possible on many *A carriers at a good mileage price.

Also lifetime status would be a bonus so we can enjoy the elite benefits after retiring

(6) Which routes do you fly most often:
Right now the preferred route is via AF (so GIG-CDG-PEK and back) but this has to change and we're looking into switching to *A. This would put us flying either via FRA on LH or JNB on SA (or YYZ on Air Canada, but never tried before)

(7) Preferred Airlines
LH, CM, TP. Open to any choice though.

(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure?
Work. Full flexibility on routing, carriers, etc. as long as it's a C ticket.
