I mainly fly BA and easyJet (U2). This year doing some sectors for leisure with the family on Vietnam (VN). Want some advice on where to credit, could be a very long time before the kids earn enough credits to book a redemption! So looking for a Sky Team FFP with family membership like BA EC has, or cheap/free transfers/pooling, or good partners for points transfer out to a major hotel scheme, or means to transfer in or earn (from the UK) so as to maintain or increase the points balance. No interest in status.
