(1) What is your home airport?

YYZ/YTZ.


(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ?

Y/B/M


(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year?

About 35-50K+ if I exclusively buy Y or B fares. Although I'm willing to do some mileage runs to get *A Gold if needs be.

(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it?

Altitude 25K in Aeroplan/AC.

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

Lounge Access/Priority Check-in and baggage handling/Redemption/Upgrades in that order


(6) Which routes do you fly most often

Transpacific (Mostly YYZ-TPE-MNL or BKK)


(7) Preferred Airlines

Eva Air/Asiana/Singapore Airlines/Air Canada

(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure?

Pleasure mostly. I prefer airlines that allow me to go to SEA for cheap. Cause from there I can fly with either Thai Airways or low-cost carriers. I do like AC but the problem is the only time I won't be making status is this year and the fact I could have gotten *A gold last year was also a problem cause of their AQD. I would fly 15K miles RT and get no AQD cause it's not under AC but still under *A. for 50K I need to spend 6k.


Flights that I do a year if it's any relevance (once in Asia though, I tend to fly Air Asia but willing to fly *A if the cost is worth it) :

BOLDED are flights I take for sure yearly.
Italicized are optional or I take with low-cost carriers.

YYZ-TPE [sometimes 2x/year]
TPE-BKK
TPE-SIN

TPE-MNL
MNL-KUL

YYZ-LAS/LAX [I do this maybe 2-3 weekends/year]
YYZ-JFK
