China Southern in Skyteam now ?
I looged in to my AF Frequence Plus acount this morning and under the "Your Home" section, at the bottom of the page, it says :
"News Frequence Plus
China Southern joins your program, offering you new opportunities to earn Miles and use your award tickets !"
it is non clickable so there is no way to know what it means exactly but I was wondering if you guys knew any detail around this ? I know China Southern is due to enter Skyteam some time this year, but I didn't know it was going to be that soon. Or is that just a new agreement specific to Frequence Plus and China Southern that has nothing to do with Skyteam ?

They only join Frequence Plus and Skymiles Program (maybe someother Programs but I do not know), but definitely NOT SkyTeam as of yet (who knows in the future?). Therefore, you shuld not earn any Elite Qualifying Mileage, you will only earn flight credit miles. But if you fly them on AF coded share (if there is any) and getting miles credited to Frequence Plus, then you should earn Elite Qualifying Mileage as well.
