Hello

This is my first time posting on this site but I have been reading the forum for a few months now.

Oh and any reply is appreciated

(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: Priority service, Good award and redemption rates. Good rates for flying in business class (including good rates for partner airlines too)
(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: less than 25,000 miles and 1-2 round trip(s) per year so 2 or 4 flights
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
(First, Business, Premium economy, Economy, cheapest)
Reply: Business
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Airline most flown? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: Yes I can choose my airlines and class. Mostly flown with TG but planning on expanding my range a bit. I travel for pleasure since I'm still in college
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often
(US Domestic, Transpacific, Kangaroo, in Asia etc)
Reply: None. Depends on where I want to travel.
(6) What is your home airport?
(SFO, SCL, London LHR, HKG, Singapore SIN etc.)
Reply: Bangkok. Suvarnabhumi International 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?
(AA Executive Platinum, UA 1K, LAN Comodoro, etc)
Reply: TG ROP Silver. Have almost 40k
(8) Preferred Airlines
Reply: Star Alliances with good business class seats (1-2-1 configuration on long haul flights) is ideal

Credit card recommendation is very welcome.

And I want to know if there is any FFP that the miles doesn't expired (doesn't have to be a star alliance program)

The program you recommend doesn't have to be a star alliance program though I am happy to switch alliance for a better deal

Thanks in advance
