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 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.
