Though not status earning with the exception of LA and BA, their programme is quite good.. just 20K miles and she can get a domestic US/Canada award on Alaska Airlines! And miles don't expire either.. well, not as quickly as QF's programme anyway! And in future, she may earn mileage and redeem awards on AF, KL, CO, NW, DL in addition to above partners!
