(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Lounge access, ability to change flights, baggage. Lifetime status with minimal renewal requirements.
(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
200k/yr, in discounted C and economy. Some intra-Europe shorthaul, otherwise mostly TATL/TPAC. Currently focused on Star Alliance (TK Elite Plus) and Alaska MVPG75K (via Condor/BA/etc.), but want OW status too.
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Discounted business class, FF mile redemptions, or coach, in that order.
(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Pretty flexible. I can even do F when it's a great deal factoring in status/miles, but $2-3k r/t C intl longhaul is my comfort point.
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
SJU/NYC origin, going to Europe (ZRH, FRA) and asia (TYO, HKG, BKK, SIN), and Brazil (GIG or GRU)
Currently mostly fly DE LX CX LH AS JL SQ BA. Can shift JL and BA to OW program. Will add QR.
(6) What is your home airport?
SJU, also NYC and ZRH.
(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in OW or other airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
AS MVPG75K (600k), TK *G (80k)
(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
DE JL NH SQ CX AS B6 LH LX
(I'm basically most seriously considering JL so I can try to get JGC, mainly by shifting flights to JL CX BA and switching some FF redemptions to paid for 2020-2021, in the hopes of getting ~lifetime status. I can maintain AS and TK status fairly easily in addition.)
