That's good advice, YuropFlyer. In addition to the lower *G limit, one reason I would consider SK is I like their mileage bargains. Every month they have something 50% off. Haven't seen any mileage bargains on M&M for ages. However, the SK bargains are mostly ex-Scandinavia - made more sense when I lived there. Plus, given the way SK is hemorrhaging cash, they might not even be around for long.

Did I understand you correctly that on LX, M&M FTL gets higher priority on op-ups than Non-M&M-*G? Does that apply to other LH Group members as well? If true then I definitely stay with M&M.
