Which program to credit? [merged threads]
Hi all, I am new to SkyTeam, I mostly fly with Virgin Atlantic. However, during the Air France/KLM WOW offer period, I couldn't resist a return in J to Tokyo for less £1k. Now I am in a dilemma, and I would really appreciate some advice please.
We have been debating to which FF program we should credit the miles. I initially thought of Alaska as they are partners with BA and some other airlines outside the SkyTeam network, but their redemptions seem quite high, plus I don't think we get to earn status qualification miles with them. We are now thinking Delta, but their 2015 new program which requires you to spend over certain amount of money to be able to qualify for status is a big turn off. Crediting to FlyingBlue/KLM is the safe option of course, and their tier qualification level seem fairly reasonable. but I am keen to hear if you guys have any suggestion within SkyTeam family, or outside, that you think would be the most ideal option?
Thanks a million in advance!
