I'm in the last year to qualify for lifetime. Ok, i'll do that, and will do the most of my flights before march 31.
After i'll move to Staralliance. For me it doesn't matter at all, I can connect in several europeans countries without using CDG with AF. As I stay in Asia now, a since many years I have had some hope to see some better Asia air company joining ST. Ok, it seems they are more interested by Garuda or Aeroflot, and so on.
In Star, i'll not be a new customer, still silver level , may be they will pay some attention to a better customer in the future. i'll see.
In any way, AF is a *** air company with prices of an ***** ! SQ ask 2000 euros less to fly A380 1. suite from SIN to LHR than AF in 1. from SIN et CDG (return trip). It's up to them. Every service, onboard, lounges, and so on decreased all along these past years. To be FB PE, for which use ? less miles to earn, much more miles to spend, so for what ? May be for the smile they lost ?
Now money becomes rare, so I will put mine to those who like it the most, and gives me more back than AF. Ok, biz is biz : for me too.
