What's the best airline to try to status match to EK?

Hi!

I'm booked on my first EK flights from London to Bangkok in November in economy. Obviously, as I've not flown EK before, i'm a fairly useless Blue status at the moment.

I'd love to be able to at least use the lounges on my way, so am going to try to request an unofficial status match from Skywards.

I've come across http://www.statusmatcher.com/company/21325 which shows anecdotal evidence that status matches are still being made.

I have a range of shiny cards with other airlines. I guess it'd look a bit strange if I emailed EK detailing all of them, so which one should I mention in my request? (i.e. what airline would EK want to poach a customer from?). I'm London based.

Qatar Airways Gold (OneWorld Sapphire) - lots of miles/transactions
British Airways Bronze (OneWorld Ruby) - lots of miles/transactions
Etihad Gold - very few miles/transactions
Air France Platinum (Skyteam Elite Plus) - lots of miles/transactions
Turkish Airlines Elite (Star Alliance Gold) – some miles/transactions

I also have a return booked to Dubai on Qantas in January. I'd be happy to post my miles from that trip to EK rather than QR or BA.

Thanks for any advice! :)
