Nope. To be honest, FD benefits and FD miles dropped out of the equation for me at the beginning of 2004. Last year I racked up over 100,000 miles on UA/LH/SQ/BD, 15,000 on BA and taken several BasiqAir/Aer Lingus flights (no miles). I flew less than 30,000 on KLM and cashed in about 150,000 for awards.

I prefer to take UA to the states (because of Economy Plus) and within Europe it really just depeneds on cost and convenience - where KLM sometimes wins, sometimes not.
