CDG

No, but enough miles to become *A silver based on the trip done
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Lounge access, redemption, upgrade
(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific etc)
With *A, it will be CDG-Australia
(7) Preferred Airlines
SQ, LH, ANA
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure?
With *A, it will be mainly for work

Hi,
Based in CDG, I usually fly with Skyteam in Europe with one TA (USA) or Asia (SIN/TYO) long haul per year.

I've done one trip in J to Australia at the beginning of December on SQ, with enough miles to qualify for *A Silver, whatever the airline.
I will go again 1 time to Australia in the next 12 months, in Business or Premium Economy.

By reading on the Internet, I reduced my options to the following ones:
- Put my trips on M&M, 200% EQM, so *A silver, but I will not reach Gold. Redemption will be difficult
- Enroll in SQ, I will probably be KS Gold and *A gold. Redemption are not so bad if I want to make PAR-SIN flight.
- Eroll in OZ, I will probably by *A gold. Long validity but miles difficult to burn

I do not fly with TK or A3 and do not plan to do it.

What do you think is the best solution?
