So in terms of status miles promotion, LH was more interesting than AF/KL in the first half of this year (2x vs. 1,5x) and will remain more interesting the second half of the year (1,5x vs. 1x)
But AF KLM status is easy to get and easier to keep than a Senator/HON...
Moreover with the AF if you have surplus status points (calles XP) you can keep them indefinitely to qualify for the years to come. I personally got XP for 2 years requalifications.... and flown only intra european flights in eco!! Whit the same amount of flight done on LH I could not even reach FTL!!
