Thanks in advance for any advice! I relocated from NYC to HKG a couple of months ago and will be in HKG for the next 2-5 years. I was mostly flying DL/VS/CX prior to the move. I credited a lot of my old CX flights to AS, so I have status + miles there, but now I'm wondering if CX makes more sense given I'm based out of HKG, and given the difficulty in finding awards availability on CX via AS? I still have some family in the US, so I'd be happy to use my miles to buy them flights to visit HKG.

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Good award redemption rates, better award access, upgrades on travel - specifically looking to upgrade my family on flights to HKG. I haven't been great at using either my Amex points or FFP miles to book flights and am also looking to do this more.

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
>50k mi
<25 sectors

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Long haul - Business
Short haul - Economy / cheapest

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Can choose airline/class
Long haul - for work
Short haul (mostly within East Asia) - for pleasure

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
CX
HKG-NYC-HKG (~2x per year), HKG-LHR-HKG (~1x per year), and smaller trips within Asia

(6) What is your home airport?
HKG

(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 MVP Gold - 70k miles
DL Silver Medallion - 70k miles

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Mostly fly CX these days for work and convenience out of HKG
