(1) What is your home airport? LAS (can easily fly out of LAX or SFO too)
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? Cheapest economy or premium economy
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? About 60K mileage
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? I am with Skyteam now, but not happy with AeroMexico.
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Upgrades and award redeemtion. I have Amex Platinum card now and will probably renew it, so lounge access is not a concern for me.
(6) Which routes do you fly most often?
Each year I have: 2 round trips to South America (Buenos Aires), + 2 round trips to Asia (Taipei), + 1 roundtrip to Europe (London). I rarely fly U.S.domestic.
(7) Preferred Airlines: None. But I am thinking perhaps maybe Avianca or Copa, given my most challenging/unpleasant flight is to South America. So, being a elite member of these Airlines may improve my flight experience to the south America. But I am not sure now after being a platinum with AeroMexico for a year, and MEX is such an awful airport.
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? I travel for pleasure.
