Intriguing KLM Info
 

Hi All!

I spoke to both KLM here in TLV and the KLM Flying Dutchman hotline in AMS about the possibility of a status match from DL PM to the equivalent on KL. They told me that since these are SkyTeam members, they typically don't bother, but that in either case, by the end of next year that all SkyTeam members would have one FF program administered through SkyTeam. This doesn't seem possible to me - maybe there was a misunderstanding and they were talking specifically about KL/AF? What do y'all think - have you heard anything about this?

Take care,
Arie

there is absolutely NO WAY this could happen.
To put it in a familiar way:
"That is not possible". :D

As an understatement, KLM in TLV do not understand anything when it comes to FD issues.

There have been a few programs that have a group of members, but I can recall none that came from three continents and combined a half a dozen languages.

M&M, CO & Eastern, The Swiss Air thing

language problems?
 

I don't think languages are a barrier anymore. Most loyalty prgrams offer information and customer service in more than one language, usually 3 at least (English, French, Spanish). So that's not the issue.

Bump

15 months after the OP: nothing! I guess it was just a rumor.

KLM and AF merged there programs into Flying Blue

True. I guess the rumor was just quite a bit bigger than reality.

Yes it can be regarding round/return trips and single trips. Happened on a 9000 mile bonus targeted offer on FB about flying 4 trips (4 segments in French, while saying 4 return trips in English)
