Does it make a difference how I fly in regards to the status points I can earn (only depending on miles and class)? Will it always be certain points for so many miles in a certain class or can I somehow optimize reg. the status points?
For any particular flight the status earning and the redeemable/award ff miles/points earning will/can vary with each freq flyer program.
Some ffp's require that you fly X qualifying flights before status is given. X = 4 is common, but can be another number. What is a qualifying flight varies.
