Even if they should do this in the future (SriLankan is not a member of the Ethiad alliance yet, and Hogan didn't even mention the airline during his GBTA event address when he discussed alliances), Flysmiles has and always had very high UL metal requirements for earning status. Half of the miles or sectors needed to attain sapphire or emerald status need to be flown on UL (as opposed to the four-flights-minimum that BA or AA require). For anyone not based in Sri Lanka or at least with the opportunity to book UL flights regularly connecting in CMB while travelling across their network to/in Asia, Flysmiles definitely is not the best path to oneworld status, despite their low mileage requirements.
