Hello!

Star Alliance flyer with Star Gold status here, who is "forced" to fly Skyteam carriers Garuda & Vietnam Airlines a lot lately.


I made Garuda Silver status last year on segments, however, the benefits of silver status are hardly worth it putting my money (or better, miles & segments) towards Garuda.
My home base airport is SIN, flying mostly short-haul to either Vietnam & Indonesia, combined with domestic flying in these countries (Saigon - Hanoi, Jakarta - Semarang/Surabaya etc.).

Can you recommend me the best Skyteam FFP to put my segments towards, so I can earn Skyteam lounge Elite or Elite Plus status via segments?

I value lounge access, good redemption rates, extra baggage allowance most.

Thank you!
