Changing partner airline
Hello,
I am currently with M&M, but find I am doing a lot more travel within Scandinavia nowadays. (e.g ARN, OSL, CPH, BLL, GOT).
Is it worthwhile changing my partner from LH to SK?
Will SK match status or convert points (even at a price)?
Should I spend the (50k) miles I have with LH, and then just enrol in EB and start from scratch?

With rare exceptions, airlines do not offer to match status held with another airline within the same alliance.
I'm only aware of one instance where a status match included matching the points/miles balance. This was KLM promotion many years ago and it cost them a lot.
As to whether you should switch FFPs that depends on what you want from the FFP and your travel pattern.
