Advice Needed
 

Should I join a FFP? I am a vacation flyer who flies literally once a year. If I should, which one should I?

In all honesty probably not. Relax and feel free to pick the best value flights you find for your annual trip without being shackled to a certain airline/alliance.

Don't bother. And you've given nowhere near enough information for anyone to give you an intelligent answer,

Welcome to FlyerTalk.

If you have aspirational travel plans, maybe, with credit card opportunities and all.

OTOH, there are cards that provide great cash back opportunities, and that certainly isn't about travel.

Thanks everybody. I plan to travel more in the future, so until then, I'll stick to Y class (paid, of course). LondonElite, sorry! I am very much a newbie at this and a complete mileage idiot. Therefore, I did not know what to provide/

My suggestion is to book the flight of your choice and then join the frequent flyer program of that airline. There are so many ways to earn miles without flying that it is silly not to join at least one, if not more than one, program. As stated above, you can easily collect enough miles through credit card programs to earn free trips.

If you take one or two flights a year there is no point, especially based in Singapore where alternative mileage collection methods are extremely limited. Where do you travel to? Distance? What do you hope to achieve from a FFP? etc etc?

Try to always credit your flights somewhere, although probably not to SQ. Look for programs in which miles don't expire ever (DL for SkyTeam) or that require only minimal/cheap/easy activity to keep the miles alive. Joining FF programs is free and easy; you might someday have enough miles for a free ticket you can use; just try to keep things concentrated in one FF program per alliance or use one that crosses alliances and covers the airlines you use (AS covers AA, CX, and DL currently, among other carriers or one of the ME3 might work for you).
