Hello,

Could really do with some pro-help deciphering which way to go with FF membership please. I am about to embark on an international relocation with an opportunity to (at last) be airline/ program loyal with significantly increased travel. For the last few years I've channeled AA points to my QF account and thinking it may finally be time to give up on my QF allegiance with my upcoming move:

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Lounge access and seat selection

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
Estimate 3 long haul flights per year and 20 continental European flights... 50,000 miles/ year?

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Usually cheapest option available (discount economy).

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
80% work travel. Directive to choose the cheapest flights, definitely down the back of the plane.

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
LHR to continental Europe, in the short term commuting LHR to LAX

(6) What is your home airport?
LHR

(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?
QF Bronze- 100,000 points. Would make Silver status tier based on credits before year end (6 weeks) but will not meet required segments. Lifetime silver is a long way away.

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Probably BA

My +1 is lifetime QF gold so our ability in the past to pool/ transfer points has been a benefit.

Thanks for your time and thoughts.
