About this listen

Flying Blue is targeting British Airways elite members with a dedicated status match—but unlike most matches, this one requires payment ranging from £79 to £249. We break down the matching tiers, what benefits you actually receive across the SkyTeam alliance, and whether paying to switch from oneworld to SkyTeam makes financial sense. With BA's controversial move to spend-based status qualification looming in 2026, over 4,000 BA members have already made the jump. We analyze the value proposition for each tier and help you decide if this status match is right for your travel plans.
