Try LATAM. Multiple reports show matches to OWE.

Just note that you need to have flown a previous flight with them in the last 12 months.

Finally got matched by Iberia Plus to Gold (from Air Berlin Gold..:D).
Now I'd like to use this Elite card to obtain SkyTeam Gold or StarAlliance Gold (cannot ask to Turkish and United).
Any suggestions?

Is Alitalia still doing status matches?

Any idea if this needs to be a LATAM marketed and operated flight or just operated by?

What I know from the last days is that they are denying this match. Probably because the Chilean ffp will merge with the Brazilian ffp. At least, I have 3 brazilian friends that could not get the match this year.

Maybe they're not interested in status matching in the Brazilian market.

I will be flying a bit with Turkish Airlines this year (work projects in Turkey). It would give good chance to get Miles & Smiles status (even up to Elite). I would like to match the status with some Oneworld and Skyteam airline, I also fly with Finnair (oneworld) and Aeroflot (Skyteam) but not enough to get reasonable level with them.

However, I have noticed that Finnair for example matches Lufthansa (also star alliance as Turkish), but not Turkish. Do you know if there are any airlines in these two alliances (oneworld and skyteam) which would match Miles&Smiles levels?

I could use Lufthansa program instead, but I should decide soon which one I start to collect. Otherwise Turkish program looks good to me, but I am worried about this matching opportunity in the future.. Thank you in advance!

Would Finnair match United 1k status?

Please elaborate where you see Finnair matching? They never match ANYTHING. They only offered an exceptional lousy Silver card offer when Topbonus went belly and even that was a suprising offer from them.
