1. What is most important to you in a frequent flyer program (FFP)?
Lounge access if I flew enough to get the status, but mostly redemption. I wanna be able to get an award flight, even if it's just in Y with as low of BS charges as possible. Destination could be basically anywhere outside of NA, I'm super flexible and open to exploration, but having enough miles for a round trip from Canada to the continental US is nice to have around when needed in a pinch as well.

2. How many miles do you usually fly each year? How many flights/sectors?
On SKYTEAM, not many. Depends on what's cheap, I would say roughly twice a year flying YVR-MEX-_____ MDE/UIO/LIM/BOG. But this week I've also got a cheap fare on MU, they've often got cheap fares to south east asia so that might be an incentive.

3. What fare class do you usually buy?
Exclusively economy with the exception of perhaps a paid upgrade here and there. Usually the cheapest economy fare bucket as well.

4. Are you able to choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
YES (subject to finances) and 100% leisure.

5. Which routes do you fly most often?
Whatever is a good deal. The most likely is YVR-MEX-MDE.

6. What is your home airport?
YVR

7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in each FFP, if any?
I have Star Alliance Gold status, currently with Singapore, next 2 years it'll be via Asiana. I've got decent mileage balances in a handful of programs, with goal levels in mind to be able to make 1 redemption, then close the accounts out in all likelihood.

8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
: Star Alliance, but ultimately my decision are mostly based on price. So using AM to go YVR-MEX-MDE with an average price of like $650 CAD return, it's hard to turn down when any star alliance option is minimum $800, AM often puts it on sale too, just bought one for like $450. Too cheap to turn down.
