(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Priority services, lounge access, RDM

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
>50K miles, always in economy class

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Cheapest economy ticket with at least 50% accrual

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
I can choose any airlines, but my budget sticks me to economy(will feel guilty if I buy biz tickets with my parents' money).

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
TPAC routes most often, and TATL sometimes.

(6) What is your home airport?
PVG, LAX. Home based in PVG, attending university abroad, university location is close to LAX.

(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?
Currently SQ*G with 53K miles in bank, also have 44K miles in bank with AV(duh!)

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
This is the weirdest part for me. I prefer airlines that I haven't flown before. I always want to try new airlines. Since I've flown AA/BA/AY/QF/CX before, I will not consider flying those airlines anymore. With AB leaving OW, now I only have JL/LA/MH/S7/UL/QR/IB/RJ to kill.

Additional Question:
I have SQ*G (used to credit all my UA TPAC deep discounted economy tickets to SQ), now with SQ cuts UA's G/K class to 25%, I have to look for other options. Is there a chance that I can match/challenge for any oneworld carrier? Not looking for AA as I hate revenue-based RDMs.
