While SkyTeam may keep Air Europa in its ranks, it will though lose Czech Airlines on October 26. The company will be fully folded into its parent company Smart Wings and cease its program OK Plus without replacement.

Miles need to be used by that date, including on partner airlines. You should note, however, that it won’t be enough for tickets to be issued by then, but flights must actually take place. This is important to remember since most members would actually risk using their miles on partners (which include Etihad next to the SkyTeam partners) as Czech Airlines itself only operated two routes on a regular basis (Prague-Paris CDG/Madrid) as of recently.

OK Plus used to be one of the most generous programs in SkyTeam and will certainly be missed by those still remembering the good old days!
