This one is for UK residents only.

I see these paid for status matches are becoming a thing lately, when it comes to AFKL I expect no status match for Scandinavian markets at all. However Lufthansa and other I expect will try to offer staus match in these markets when SK leaves Star. They are probably just as eager for the SK exit announcements as most of us!
