Any information on whether KLM will match UA?
Will be doing a lot of intra Europe travel in addition to the Europe / US, where I normally fly *alliance. I am a 1k on UA but end up flying a fair amount on KLM.

I am holding more than one million miles with M&M but would be willing to switch the status and the miles to an American airline, e.g. Continental.

Do you mean will they give you a status match and put 1,000,000 miles in your new account?
NO - just match my status and then i'll build my own miles up !!
Hmm BMI now that would be handy - GVA ^
GVA would i just email BMI asking them about a staus match ?

Best time for getting a status match?
When is actually the best time to get a status match ?
Let's assume one gets matched now: Is this only for the running year or also for the following?

If I have UA 1k and want status match on
KLM, I call Northwest and get a match then change my address to europe and it will convert into a KLM account? If not if I got status match on Northwest could I use it to get into the lounges for KLM if I was having the miles credited to KLM? I guess it does not matter either way, but just trying to think it through.

If they comp you to Platinum then both WP and FB will give you lounge access.
Beware though that FB gold and platinum give you lounge access on NW even if flying domestic which is not the case with a straight WP gold card.

I would like similar information about American. What is the best way to reach them to ask for a status match?

Quick question for anybody who has done a recent status match to United, how long does it take if you faxed your statements? And did you get any confirmation that UA had received your fax?
