As we probably all know, having built up the status it sort of keeps us stuck with the airline however, I noticed that Virgin are offering a status match if you book one flight before 14th Feb.

Has anyone done similar before and understand the practicalities of it?

I am moving to the states in late March and having both One World and Sky Team status sounds appealing but would it then last for the full year? I can't seem to find any T&Cs on it.

Any help much appreciated!
