1. What is most important to you in a frequent flyer program (FFP)?
upgrades, priority services, baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, lounge access, etc.
>>> I suppose points that can be used to pay for future flights. Saving the most money possible is most important.
2. How many miles do you usually fly each year? How many flights/sectors?
less than 25000 miles, 50000+ miles and 20-25 flights, etc.
>>> ~17,000 miles per year
3. What fare class do you usually buy?
first, business, premium economy, economy
>>> economy
4. Are you able to choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
>>> I am able to choose any airline I want although I typically go with Frontier or Spirit as these are cheaper.
5. Which routes do you fly most often?
transatlantic, domestic USA, intra-Asia, etc.
>>> Domestic USA. Tampa, Florida to Atlanta Georgia
6. What is your home airport?
>>> Tampa International Airport
7. Do you have status in any FFP? What is it? How miles do you have banked in each FFP, if any?
>>> No status currently
8. What are your preferred airlines, if any?
>>> I have no preference.
Thanks again for your help.
Welcome to FlyerTalk!
Which airlines serve the destinations to which you would like to redeem your accrued miles?
It looks like four airlines offer TPA-ATL nonstops: Delta, Frontier, Southwest, and Spirit. Both Frontier and JetBlue have expressed interest in buying Spirit; if JetBlue succeeds and takes over the TPA-ATL route, you could credit those flights to either JetBlue
or American.
