Looking to do a status match with UA. I have [an award] UA flight in November that I got through Air Canada and my husband has an award flight also, through SAS.

We are both SAS silver, I am Alaska MVP75K and SAS Silver. We are both Emirates Silver as well.

We would like to be able to use Business Lounge in CDG before our flight home to SFO.

IF we ask for status match, how are in advance would you suggest asking for the match? Not sure how long it takes to process status match request and then how much time do they give you to take flights to complete the challenge. I don't want to ask to early and then have the 90 ?? days elapse before our actual flight.
Thanks~

Thanks. Problem is my status has lapsed recently - is there any fast track offer to Gold anywhere that doesn't involve matching?

Preferable non-OW so that I could then... match that to Air Berlin.

Turkish. You Just have to fill in their online form.

Since when does Turkish offer a fast track? Only heard of their match...

Fast track or status match, who cares as long as one gets status ?

Well for a status match one needs to have status and in this case the poster said their status had lapsed, thus they needed a fast track which does not usually require existing status :)

TK only match with OW (emerald), *A. Gold , and Skyteam. Not with any others.

Yes - I need some sort of fast-track to get any gold-type status, regardless of alliance. I don't mind it being a "take one flight and get instant status for one year" type of offer or even some small pay-to-get-status deal as long as it's not terribly expensive.

Call SAS and see if you can fly the Houston to Stavanger flights for status.

That, or buy Avianca *A Gold.

Fly LX F long haul once and I think you should be qualify for EB Gold.
