http://ftjonnyboy.yolasite.com/ now updated to include DC non-star alliance partners (detail below).
The Transaero redemption method is very 'Soviet' and a 'jump' of 31 days on Qatar Privilege Club's own members isn't bad - for those times when Star Alliance just won't take you to where you want to go!
