Club 2000 / Skipper ?
Does someone have reliable info on how to become Club 2000 or Skipper ? This seems to be above Platinum Elite, though still Elite Plus for Sky Team.
Most important, and what are the additional advantages ?
Cheers.

I am lifetime Platinum Elite, and a journalist, and did an epic travel for which I ended up in Guinness Book. Any idea to whom I should write ? Like, marketing department ? Does anyone have names, contact numbers, etc ?

If I am correct, the Club 2000 was given when it started to 2000 people who would generate a considerate revenue for the company. Eventhough it was initially given to 2000 people, it is said that there are more now.
For further information, please use the search function (or contact Bodory
)Normally the Club 2000/Skippers is given to heads of state & directors of companies. As your are already a LPE, there is not much incentive for them to give you this level.

So while it may certainly be a good ego booster for some, the practical advantage of C2000 is not that great if you already are a Plat.

I do not know about Skipper, but the published benefits of Club 2000 are exactly the same as Platinum Elites. The only difference is that the card is attributed at AF's discretion (independently on how much you travel yourself), rather than based on the number of accrued status miles.

C2000 was orginally AF and Skipper was KL.
They give this to CEO, European politicians, VIPs etc. but, as mentioned before, there are not much benefits besides the Platinum ones.
hmmm, the unwritten benefits ?

You're so right! There are those who get it but couldn't care less and the ones who need it for the exact reason you state, and who are equally thrilled about making the Guinness book of records 
PS Mods, please delete it if you think it's too nasty/personal.
