Hi all,
Used to be (still am) a ST Elite +, however I have got some flights in J on OW carriers coming up and I need to decide which program to credit them to. Trips are as follows:
Trip 1: 6 segments (2 domestic US on AA, 2 inter-EU on BA/IB, 2 intercontinental on AA) all in J/D/I booking class
Trip 2: 4 segments: 2 inter-EU (LHR-HEL) in J on BA operated by AY, 2 inter-EU (HEL-TLL) in flex-economy (Y) on BA operated by AY.
Trip 3: 4 segments, all long-haul J (booking class R) on QR
Figured that these flights will land me the highest tier on somewhat any OW carrier's FF programme, but I am asking here for experiences with different programmes with respect to benefits as well as miles value/redemption.
(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Reply: Upgrades, then lounge access/priority
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
Reply: 25-35 flights, 50/50 between EU and intercontinental (North America, South America and Central- + East-Asia)
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Reply: , 90% of the time lowest price economy
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: Only pleasure as of now, choice based on alliance (FF status) and price
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
Reply: For now KLM, inter European routes
(6) What is your home airport?
Reply: AMS
(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?
Reply: ST Gold on KLM/AF with around 70k miles in reserve
(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Reply: Stayed loyal to ST until now, I like KLM/AF (also most flights on these).
Hope you guys can point me in a right direction
