Latam. I got the status due to flying close to 100k per year for the past few years. But I do not use LATAM enough to get enough sectors. I am moving because I will not fly a lot of Syd-SCL in future. Still I prefer oneworld, but AA or Qanta do not status match so far.

I guess this thread is generally not about status matches within OneWorld, but if anyone is interested: I have called IB about matching (or rather moving) my BAEC Silver to them. (I am boycotting LHR and BA, so it's of no use there.)
Answer: they have nothing in place for this. (I understand take that as a "no".

OK, I'm not going to find out WHEN I wrote this, but I am guessing this was before they came together and IAG even existed...?

Different BS with each. Glad I status matched my EXP to 1K. The EXP desk is now staff with way too many clueless HP/US agents. You'll miss the 1K agents. AA is now a garbage airline. Meals are inedible, worse than anything even Jeff thought off. DL's agents are solid but you're stuck with the # alliance. I guess it all depends on what are you looking for in an airline/alliance. If you decide to match/challenge, make you sure you complete the challenge after July 1st so you get an extra year.

I was planning on status matching as I have AA EXP from significant flying 2016 and would like to get some sort of status with either Delta or Alaska. However this year I will have very little flying. When I request a status match (was planning to late 2017 to get 2018 status), will they look at my YTD miles flown and deny me (as all the flying was in 2016)?
