Lindsay,

Apologise for the lateness of this reply and the ignorance but what is a "G staus match"

Cheers,
Russell

 

[NM]

"G staus match"

He is refering to a promotion last year by the StarAlliance that permitted a status match of your OneWorld (and probably other programs) status in the *A program. *G was meaning Star Gold status level, which is their alliance-wide status providing many benefits such as lounge access and upgrades etc.
