forget Finnair plus. The best option seems to be the BA Executive Club, that is if you don't always travel on discounted economy fares. BAEC will soon incorporate Swiss Travel Club (see www.swiss.com) which will then be the joint program of both airlines (and one day of all oneworld carriers maybe). Swiss and BA offer excellent prices on both economy and business travel ex Nederland, and the club has a very low tier thresholds for people not residing in the UK: 800 to reach gold in your case (as opposed to 1500 for UK residents: http://www.britishairways.com/travel/ecpointthresholds/public/en_nl ).

BAEC has more redemption and earning possibilities than Finnair, and who knows what's to come once Swiss is on board (Summer 2004).
