(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: extra baggage, lounges, upgrades, good award redemption rates

(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: 1 return flight to Europe in economy class.
If only doing a few flights pick the cheapest and/or best schedule that suits your needs.
Then join the airlines ffp or a partner ffp and treat any ff miles as a bonus that may or may not be able to be used in the future.
