I have 3 months of millemiglia gold until March 31 , 2016
15 months of star gold till March 2017
and I will try and get Air Berlin with my Swiss Address.
Sky Team is what China Air uses and right now they are the cheapest flights if I do not want to go to Mainland China,
Before I flew 90% United , but they lost me with so many baggage fees etc
Sounds like a plan. AB seems to be asking ppl with non local sounding names to send in proof of recidency but if thats not an issue then that is a good idea. Though burning theough alot of matches if little chance yo keep status may not be the best way to go but we each make our own criteria...
Then again one can allways rematch later if one had multiple addresses and no big mileage commitments
If lounges are the main draw there are also some alternatives to get those.
But oneworld is really tough now. If you have a GGL friend that may be a option
