Status Matching Switch from *G
Hi all!
I'm curious about status matching. Currently a KrisFlyer Gold/ Star Gold and hearing so many people talk about status matching across airlines and competitors. Curious about 3 questions.
1) Would OneWorld or SkyTeam (preferred) match status if I switch over, considering that I'm finding their transpacific flights much cheaper?
2) For the Star Alliance loyalists, would any other airline in the Star Alliance group be willing to take a KrisFlyer Gold on and status match? I'm largely open to UA/NH/ OZ/ LH/ TG as options. I find SQ Gold a bit pointless...
3) Process. How is it done?
Any advise, suggestions, recommendations always a pleasure to read!

I can suggest why not earning *G status on A3 instead, that way it would be much easier to keep status.
