Exactly - Also, as BA has way more availability in F regarding routes and frequencies, it's much more accessible. In addition, BA F is often half the price of LP. BA F might be the butt of jokes in the flyer community, but at reduced prices (which happen very often) it can cost the same as a regular J ticket with other airlines. In that regard, it's a no brainer. As much as I love the Flying Blue program, GGL beats Ultimate out of the water, currently speaking. Access to the Concorde Room/Chelsea Lounge + OneWorld Emerald is enough to give it the edge, before considering all the other stuff on.the.bowery mentioned above.
