Hi everyone - I'm currently OW Sapphire on Alaska - but they're cutting earnings on partner flights for 2025 and it has been a nightmare getting retro credit through Alaska for the majority of my flights, so I'm looking to move on. I primarily fly on OneWorld RTW fares in D class, booked through the AA RTW desk.

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
I'd like to get OWE - so I can get F lounge access. A foreign carrier would work as well, for US domestic lounge access, when in the US (though not necessarily a priority).

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
40+ segments, all in Business.

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
OW round the world fares - all in D. I do occasionally buy some domestic US fares, also in discounted business or above. Primarily traveling outside of the US for 10 months out of the year.

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Pleasure. Mostly foreign carriers, though do like to avoid BA, and AA when possible on long haul. Traveling full time for both work/pleasure.

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
A mix between JL, QF, AA, and a few intra-Europe segments on BA.

(6) What is your home airport?
AUS, though it varies now.

(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?
MVPG (Sapphire) on AS, Gold on AA. I have miles banked in both.

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Preferred Oneworld.
