Star Alliance - UAL M+ Partners shows TACA, Shanghai as *A Partners (coming soon)View Full Version : UAL M+ Partners shows TACA, Shanghai as *A Partners (coming soon) kkirksea May 25, 06, 6:42 pm The United Airlines Mileage PLus Partners page has TACA and Shanghai under the Star Alliance partners section with a "coming soon" marker. Note that it's not under regional partners or "other" Airline Partners... but *A. Hmmm... did I miss a press release? acregal May 25, 06, 8:08 pm Shanghai Airlines has been invited to join *A. I forget the details though and I haven't heard anything about TACA. paffendorf May 26, 06, 3:53 am I saw the same page yesterday and i made some thought about this. After Mexicana left Star, its coverage in Central America is weak. Moreover, don't forget RG is living a very troubled period due to its financial difficulties ... therefore this could be the next move by Star to struggle this events.... what is your opinion about this matter? Luke kiwiandrew May 26, 06, 1:47 pm someone at UA obviously reads FT - the page has been amended and TACA is no longer listed under Star Alliance partners - was it a simple mistake , or someone blabbing a bit early ? I guess only time will tell :D iwillflytheworld May 26, 06, 2:17 pm TACA will soon start a codeshare agreement with United. It could be that TACA being listed as a * partner was simply a mistake, or it could be that the codeshare is a first step towards * membership. Here's hoping for the latter ^ . jiml1126 May 29, 06, 5:07 pm TACA will soon start a codeshare agreement with United.

Where's the mistake :confused: :confused: cause TACA and Shanghai are listed under the Airline Partners column, not the Star. or Star Regional column. http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6722,1177,00.html kiwiandrew May 29, 06, 10:30 pm Where's the mistake :confused: :confused: cause TACA and Shanghai are listed under the Airline Partners column, not the Star. or Star Regional column. http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6722,1177,00.html that's because someone at UA must read either FT or Anet - it was changed a couple of days ago on UA's site - but believe me , it did say that , quite a few people saw it |
