BMI was the only *A carrier doing that flight, and they are about to drop it.
Therefore, if you fly LHR-AMS with any regularity, SkyTeam would be my recommended option.
2nd big problem is HKG-TPE
There is no * carrier fly this route now.
If you want to fly between HKG-TPE, you need to route through PVG.
It's like you fly from NYC to D.C. and you have transfer in Kansas City.....
