I do have some skyteam travel booked and would consider using CO/DL/NW more regularly once they start up from LHR.
Well if anyone is interested I got a response from CO to my request to match my BD status. They basically said that whilst they do have a status match programme they do not match bmi. Unfortunate as I made a point of telling them most of my flying is on UA and that BD and CO will be direct competitors from LHR come the spring and I would shift my business from UA to them. Ah well.
