Through September 30th, Delta is offering an enhanced status match to Southwest A-List and A-List Preferred members. This will get you Gold and Platinum Medallion Level respectively in SkyMiles. Check the site for the specific details on how to do this and for how long the status match will last. Also, if you aren't a SWA frequent flier, Delta offers a status match with many other airlines.
Last Fall, when I went to London, I did a status match in which my SWA A-List Preferred (I have since been demoted to A-List not special) got me United's Gold level. This came in handy as with it I was able to get lounge access for 3 of the 4 total flights (for the flight out of London, I used an Amex affiliate's lounge). I was able to eat and drink for free (other than tips) at airports going to and coming home from the UK, which was quite the bonus. I mention this because you too might be able to unlock something nice if applying a status match from your frequent flier program to one of an airline you don't use often.
