1) What is your home airport? (SFO, LAX, MCO, etc.) - LWO
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? (C, F, Y, etc.) - discounted economy most of the time
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? (<25K, 25k-50k, >50k) - 25-50K actual miles
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? (UA Silver, M&M Senator etc) - M&M Frequent Flyer (*A Silver) with 88K award miles accumulated . Status will expire in two months (changed my job in the end of last year and hadn't traveled a lot for the first 6-8 months in the new company). I am trying to decide if I want to stay with them. As an owner of MasterCard Platinum I also have free access to the lounge in KBP (PS hub).
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? (Frequent upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, good award redemption rates, free lounge access, etc.) - award redemption rates, lounge access, upgrades
(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific etc) - 2-3 business trips to the US a year (usually LH + UA) along with 2-3 trips around Europe (LO, OS, sometimes PS or W6). 2-4 leisure trips (usually low costs W6, FR, EG, sometimes PS).
(7) Preferred Airlines - trying to avoid PS for business trips, but not really religious about it (except for transatlantic, where PS is a big no-no for me)
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you chooose your airlines, class of service?) - mostly for work, have limited influence over the decision (e.g. if the price and time is similar I can choose between airlines)
