First of all - this is my first post, so please bear with me.

Knowing the the BA EC programme inside out there are a few point to make.
First of all, no - absolutely no exceptions were allowed in the recent re-fresh of the EC, except that the EC Euro programme will have lower status levels to reach Silver and Gold! That's nice to have for a start.

On the other hand, has anybody ever thought about the true costs of running a FFP at Swiss? By being one of the most generouse programme, there must have been a lot of money gone down the drain which could have been better invested in the operations.
I must say the main difference between Swiss Travel Club and the Exec Club is, that as the names suggest, the EC is for Execs travelling a lot; where STC is for anybody travelling Swiss. Clearly two different strategies.

And with LX's new low cost concept who is up for betting how long it will take that they will give less miles on heavely discounted tickets? I say three month (to be fair it needs to get reprogrammed first).

I shut up now and look forward to merge my two accounts very soon.
