(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
(upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, extra baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, free - discounted lounge access, etc.)
Reply: upgrades, extra baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, free - discounted lounge access

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
(<25000, 25000-50000, >50000 miles - <25, 25-50, >50 flights?)
Reply: Perhaps 10+ round trips each year plus a few others (25-50 flights?), half domestic (US), half international; each round trip on average can be 2,000 - 6,000 miles. The problem is that it's highly unpredictable.

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
(First, Business, Premium economy, Economy, cheapest)
Reply: Economy (in order to be reimbursed), I'm not actually sure if Premium economy counts or not

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Airline most flown? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Reply: Can choose airlines, but to be reimbursed would have to be economy class; Mostly for work

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often
(US Domestic, Transpacific, Kangaroo, in Asia etc)
Reply: Highly unpredictable and varies from year to year; half US domestic, many US-Europe, some/few US-Asia, possible others

(6) What is your home airport?
(SFO, SCL, London LHR, HKG, Singapore SIN etc.)
Reply: for the next year it'll be EWR (and LGA and JFK); other years BOS

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in an airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
(AA Executive Platinum, UA 1K, LAN Comodoro, etc)
Reply: I doubt it; so far I have spread out my miles and do not keep track, but I want to change that now

(8) Preferred Airlines
Reply: Flexible

Thanks in advance for your help.
