Hi all...I'm new here. I have finally started traveling and am excited to find a FFP program to hook onto.

(1) What is your home airport?
DTW

(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
Mostly discounted economy fares that earn 25% (min) to 75% (max) miles

(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year?
Expect to clock 25-35K miles in the coming year.

(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it?
No, I have roughly 6k worth of miles with LH and QR and that's about it. No statuses on any of the alliances.
This year I already have an RT ticket booked on EVA Air from ORD to HKG in W class (50% earn) and I am looking at another trip to either Iceland, Vietnam or Costa Rica during Thanksgiving and a routine trip from DTW to MAA (India)

(5) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Would prefer to become *G or SkyTeam Elite with the limited miles I fly or be able to redeem them for reasonable rates to Europe and Asia next year.

I regularly travel to India each year so it would be great even if all I could do each year with all my miles is either redeem or upgrade to J for the 22+ hour journeys. But since I travel in Dec this is more of an award availability issues than earning/spend rate itself.

(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific etc)
US Domestic, Intl from ORD or DTW-MAA and DTW-ORD on DL for positioning.

(7) Preferred Airlines
AI, LH, AF, DL

(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure?
Pleasure. Since I am kinda starting from scratch I am open to all suggestions.

Thanks.
