In fact i don't understand why everyone talk only about XP and not talk about both XP and miles
Miles are still useful, not for statuts sure but for flight in business or in la Première miles are crucial
miles have become a nice addon - nothing more.
when you look at the devaluation that has happened with dynamic pricing and revenue based mileage earning on AF/KL - to earn a first class award or upgrade on AF you have to spend tons of cash to get the necessary miles. often it might be cheaper to buy cheapish F-fares than to rely on miles. same goes with business class tickets. there are so many sales out there and it might be cheaper to buy a cheap business class ticket than to buy it with miles.
