Not a great one, but still OK.
A few years ago I had the vision to join M&M instead of Spanair Plus, but with my Silver elite I could only access the lounge when flying LX, not any other *A airline or even JK, something which really pissed me off.
Being the only *A one in Barcelona. I wonder who's going to handle it now.

As a Spaniard, I'm sad to admit you're right. I'd go as far as to say, though, that Vueling is a good LCC, but since IB got behind it after the merger with Clickair, their hands have been tied on many occasions.

I'll miss them, especially on routes like BCN-ALG. I've flown to Algeria several times lately, and the only other carrier operating this route is Air Algérie, which has to be the worst airline I've flown with! (and accordingly to my Flight Memory, there are 84 other companies I can compare them to...).

I had also thought about the possibility of LH España, but LH already refused buying JK some time ago, and LH Italia didn't turn out to be a great idea. But with over 200k Germans living in Spain, and many more travelling to Spain (and especially Majorca) on a regular basis, I guess that LH should try to make the most of the JK demise and the void that *A has in Spain now. They should also try to regain some of the customers that AB has taken from them.
