Virgin Atlantic & Gulf Air FFP Questions

Hi Guys,

Any Information would be greatly appreciated [A real FFP Rookie here]

I booked myself on one of those GF Air F class fares and i will be availing them almost after a year of booking as a graduation gift to myself after several postponements of my dates.

At the time of booking i dint find the GF air FFP impressive and booked myself on VS FFP[June 2006] which obviously till my flight on May 12th 2006 does not garner any miles. It says it will expire in 2007 [some month] is it true even if i collect my miles in May/June of 2006

Later this year as GF air became a partner to Jet Airways[9W] i irrationally booked myself on GF air and 9Ws [useless] FFP.

My question is that currently my Itenary shows my miles credited to VS FFP

---Should i keep it to VS or change it to GF [and if yes how do i do it]
I am ofcourse wanting to use VS given the vast array of partners that they have and their FFP does seem better than GF air.

---I recieve a total of 19010 miles [not including bonuses]---with bonuses how many miles will i recieve -- I am BOOKED in DISCOUNTED First Class--A--

i am on F class on BAH-LHR-BAH-MNL-BAH sectors and BUSINESS Class on BOM-BAH-AUH-BAH-BOM sectors

----I want yoll to help me with what to do after i accure these miles----what is the best award ticket i can get ---

VS partner airlines from BOM include
--SQ/BMI/VS and GF ofcourse/DL/MH/SAA

And From rest of India you can include Austrian and Continental as well

So where should i book a ticket for [BOM-HKG/SIN/KUL/LHR/JNB etc..]
Or should i buy an economy ticket and use the miles to get my self upgraded

So what is the best i can do for an award Please any help will be appreciated.

How much time does it take to show the miles that are collected and should i carry a print out of my FFP along with me;.

ANY HELP ON ANY OF MY ANNOYING QUESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
