(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
(upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, extra baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, free - discounted lounge access, etc.)
Reply: Nothing too important, just the ability to build up miles fast and then redeem them to either get an upgrade to Business or to get a free flight
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
(<25000, 25000-50000, >50000 miles - <25, 25-50, >50 flights?)
Reply:
Hmmm that really depends, there is no average, at least one flight from Orlando to Dublin, for myself, my wife and my infant child
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
(First, Business, Premium economy, Economy, cheapest)

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Airline most flown? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?

Aer Lingus as they have the only direct flight, but I hate them and fully intend on changing airlines and flying via Atlana or NY or something.
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often
(US Domestic, Transpacific, Kangaroo, in Asia etc)
Reply:

(6) What is your home airport?
(SFO, SCL, London LHR, HKG, Singapore SIN etc.)

Orlando Airport
(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in an airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?

I have a BA rewards program, but rarely fly BA anymore, as Aer Lingus only fly into Dublin Airport I believe
(8) Preferred Airlines

Anyone but Aer Lingus.

Thanks guys for the help, basically I fly to Ireland with my wife and kid once a year, and then my family, maybe 2-4 people will come to visit Orlando once a year, and I was thinking I could use their points too. Most Common in Direct Orlando to Dublin with Aer Lingus, but I hate Aer Lingus so will be flying indirect going forward. I have some points with BA, not a lot I think like 11k, but theyre worth very little now it seems.
Any help would be hugely helpful
