Hi, with my recent move, reduced traveling post-Covid and a decline in CX's service levels, I am looking to get a status match or perhaps start from scratch (or which level I can get into) with another program. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

(1) What is your home airport?
MAN/LHR

(2) What types of fares do you usually buy?
C, I for UK-Asia; O, Q, K for Intra-Europe

(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year?
35K to 50K

(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it?
CX Diamond (OW Emerald)

(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? (Frequent upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, good award redemption rates, free lounge access, etc.)
Priority Service (e.g. extra luggage), lounge access

(6) Which routes do you fly most often? (US Domestic, Transpacific, etc.)
UK to Asia (HKG still main, though may also do NRT or ICN)
UK to Europe (e.g. FRA, CPH)

(7) Preferred Airlines
OW still seems to be best, but am wondering if I should go for *A being in Europe; otherwise, no strong preference other than to move away from CX. I assume status match/challenge with another OW program will not be possible though.

(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you choose your airline and class of service?)
Mixed - full control over airline/class of service
