KLM offers a good alternative if the start point is not the South East of England
How easy is it to gain status with Skyteam? I do use KL/AF now and again from here but usually the BA perks win me over - lounge, priority boarding etc. I would love to have Skyteam status too but really haven't a clue about other FF schemes. Lazy, I know.
