Sky Pearl Club status

Sky Pearl Club status is earned on qualifying miles or segments over a 12-month period on China Southern and partners. China Southern left SkyTeam in 2019 and belongs to no alliance, so its tiers unlock its own lounges and bilateral partner benefits. Confirm current thresholds on csair.com.
