I am thinking of joining BA because of their much-more generous Tier Point scheme compared to Marco Polo's club points, despite being in Marco Polo for almost 10 years. New job meant I'm flying a lot more than before (no J no F though) so lounge access is much loved.

My target is OW Sapphire.

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Reply: lounge access
(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. 25-50 flights probably.
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
(First, Business, Premium economy, Economy, cheapest)
Reply: Economy/cheapest
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: Yes, Both

(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?

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Reply: oneworld obviously but don't like Qatar as they strictly adhere to the "one hand-carry" baggage policy - no backpack + carry-on suitcase. Was forced to check in backpack as i had my laptop in my carry-on. Never had problem with KA/CX/AY/EK/etc

Thank you very much for your time.
