which Skyteam program to join for single Business Class trip?
hi all,
just wondering if you have any advice. I have a upcoming trip on KLM as part of a roundtrip AKL-PVG-AMS-HKG-AKL and the PVG-AMS-HKG legs are on KLM. All flights are in full fare business class.
I am not a member of any skyteam programs so was hoping someone might be able to advise which one offers the best value for such a trip. I am not especially interested in elite status as i wont be flying enough as most of my flights are Star Alliance.
I guess also no cost to join and ease of joining would be factors (sign up online).
Thanks

As stated in other threads, one option is to credit to Alaska Airlines program. It lets you credit flights from a range of SkyTeam and oneworld airlines:
