Last year I flew once to europe (not with airline partner though), once to US, once to Asia on business (but bought it with points), once to Pacific islands, and 3-4 times domestic (within Australia).

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Reply:
a) I can get free bonus points through credit card sign ups
b) Cheapest (points wise) to book business class. If one program does have a lot of bonus points deals with a lot of different credit cards and points are generious then I would take that.
(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: 25000-50000 and probably less than 25
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
Economy (if possible I could also buy premium, depending on the cost)
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Airline most flown? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: Mostly for pleasure. Mostly flew on Virgin
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often
(US Domestic, Transpacific, Kangaroo, in Asia etc)
Reply: I am planning to do US Domestic and Latin-central america.
(6) What is your home 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?
