I would appreciate some help here - I thought I knew a lot about FF programs but OW is so different - haven't looked at it since I was BA Gold 20 years ago. Marco Polo / Asia Miles doesn't seem very attractive, since they will only match me to silver in the best case, and there is no elite bonus on miles earned.

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?

lots of award tickets for my wife and kids, extra baggage allowance, better award access, priority services when flying the airline. I would hope for a jump start with a status match too.

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
Reply:
75,000-125,000 miles, largely long-haul in J. Only 15-25 sectors

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Reply:
Cheap Business, moderately cheap Y on US domestic flights

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: Yes, I choose - 75% work, 25% pleasure

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
Reply:
UA TLV-USA and domestic USA. LX/LH also to USA and South America. Until now TK/SQ to Asia and Australia. a few trips from TLV to Europe. Planning to switch the Asia and Australia flights at least to CX since they now have one stop TLV-HKG-MEL
I have two TLV-HKG returns on CX booked in J (D class) for April/May.

(6) What is your home airport?

Reply: TLV

(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: UA 1K/MM, Chase UR too

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Reply:
UA, LX, LH, SQ starting to fly CX
