Hi,

Currently have Platinum status with AF/KL Flying Blue but yesterday the announced changes to FB has caused much negativity so for me it's better to "jump ship" as it's going to be more difficult to maintain Platinum status from April 2018 (and I thought from the comments FB were focusing on premium travallers over milage runners). It seems status matching is not possible so will have to start all over again in another FFP.

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Program status for priority landside and airside queues. Lounge access.

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?

1 long-haul first if reasonable fare, 2-3 long haul business and 1-3 intra-Europe flight business or economy just to top-up for annual status level.

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

Cheap (if possible).

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
All self-funded personal travel.

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
Asia (NE, SE), South America, Aus/NZ, continental Europe.

(6) What is your home airport?
LHR (Heathrow)

(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?
Air France/KLM Flying Blue Platinum (SkyTeam Elite Plus)

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Air France, KLM, Vietnam Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, Korean Air

Thanks
