or EqyptAir (I assume the latter is rubbish but haven't actually any knowledge).
(Spending chart seems ok to Asia http://www.egyptairplus.com/MS_Membe...art_01_feb.pdf,
Earning rates seem rubbish though: http://www.egyptairplus.com/MS_Membe...tar_class.html, e.g. SQ W = 75%)

Thanks

Egyptair is a poor man's Turkish - similar earning rates, other than that 75% SQ W (ouch!), but slightly higher redemption rates from Northern Europe

Ahhh, I hadn't twigged that Air China was in kms... And the slowness of the website was putting me off... Back to the drawing board - although, while it is more generous than other Asia-based FFPs, its earn-rates are generally still lower than the Western-based schemes. Cheap redemptions though - including on CX
