Hi folks

iam looking for an FFP in OW , as ST doesnt fly to airports i will visit a lot after covid . First to collect miles just in case and later , depends on life changes (trips,location,job,projects,etc...) i could target a status (ruby or sapphire) if i get close .

My plans might be centered around 6 airlines

Three carriers i think i will use the most

BA = america + UAE
S7 = russia + CIS
RJ = middle east

The rest will depend on other factors (prices+destinations)

AA = north/central america
IB = central/south america
QR = africa / UAE

i checked and studied the FFP of BA ,S7 , AA , RJ and QR a bit ..... I can say that for me QR and AA are out of the game , so iam open to suggestions regarding BA vs S7 vs RJ or others .....

Unfortunately the benefits are not homogeneous across airlines as in skyteam , so to get the best out of it , i will probably need to target sapphire (if i fly OW a lot) and stick mainly to the airline of my FFP and use others as bonus (if i understood OW FFPs correctly)

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
free luggage , lounges , priority boarding/checkin ....

If possible a FFP who signed partnership with hotel chains like ALL or IHG , so i can either gain points or transfer miles to my hotel account in such way

ALL with A3 M&B = convert M&B miles into ALL points
AFKL FB = cash spent on tickets grants you ALL points

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
40k/60k miles per year , a mix of mid and long haul flights (between 40 and 60 segments)

Check my flightradar24 profile to get an idea

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Y , or J if no choice and its cheaper than Y

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Airlines = yes
class = not

work = 33% (short/mid haul)
private = 66% (mid/long haul)

its not static and work can fluctuate a lot

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
Skyteam airlines (80%) + star alliance (20%)

some trips within europe
one yearly trip to UAE
from europe to south america

(6) What is your home airport?
WAW and BER

(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?
Skyteam FB platinum

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
S7,BA,QR,RJ for OW
