I was looking at this the other day. I concluded ( for my travel style) that it’s easier to achieve status via Air France than it is via Virgin, so I will now move all my future bookings to Flying Blue, but I guess it’s down to personal travel plans.
I fly a lot with work – the short haul is generally in economy, the long haul varies. My personal travel is mostly to the States in premium or business, and generally on redemption. VS gives me tier points for these flights, but I still think AF/ KLM is more viable.
I’ve ben loyal to BA for many years and hit silver easily every year. TBH, I’d rather fly short haul in an exit row than business anyway, so the status is important for seat selection alone. (I also decide which airline all my team fly with…it will no longer be BA as it benefits them all if they achieve status, which with the new changes, is unlikely).
