Its not only about luggage , but also about too many topics in general
.
  • In many cases as *G , you dont have lounge access in remote stations , cause the airline you are flying with only provide lounge for their own J and elite paxs
  • Even as gold , you often have to pay for basic seat selection (in skyteam you dont)
  • The luggage allowance for elite paxs has far less restrictions in skyteam than star alliance
  • Almost zero (or far less headache) regarding miles/points earnings in skyteam
  • No horrible scam such as AC or A3 or TP requiring a master thesis from a wizard school to know if you will get status miles before purchase
  • You are not locked to fly only with the airline who gave you status to keep it further in skyteam
