Nor do BA serve my country, so I can't even earn additional TP's as I connect to & from London, to fly onwards with BA, as do other Euro based members.
(or more accurately

Sigh.... unfortunately I don't have a mainland Euro address that I could "move" my account to either
I wonder though if I were in a position to "move" to a mainland Euro address, would I then be a "Euro-Cheat", even though I am already based in a Euro country outside of the UK ??
I live in Jersey and it is a similar story here really. Some say it is part of the UK, some say it isn't, but we fly out of JER in either Euro Traveller or Club Europe, yet still get the higher UK TP threshold. It is unfair really, seeming as you pay as much to get from JER-LGW as you would to get from say AMS-LGW, yet still need 600TP's for Silver. I use my italian address now!
