Hi,

The 25% earning rate for both SK and BD cause me to think about who I will travel with for long haul flights.

Travel to the US is generally moved to US or UA, where even the cheapest seats earn at 100% (on BD), while going to the Middle East with LH, SK has more classes that earn at 100% than BD.

Even at 25%, I'll stick with SK for my travel to and from the Nordics, since it keeps me away from LHR.

I agree with oliver2002 that short haul at 25% makes it really difficuly to retain status - I'm lucky to have enough long haul during the year to keep status.
