I have to agree with 2 Many Miles. I'd give my business to SR/SN over BA in a heartbeat were there some decent reciprocal frequent flyer recognition elements to the relationship. This is especially the case for those of us who have to endure travel to/from/within Africa. Sabena has (or had until recently!) a far superior offering to and within the Dark Continent. However, in the relentless pursuit of lounge access and status miles, I'll stick with BA. Which, I suppose, is exactly the outcome the OW folks had in mind in the first place....
