Lauda do some great business class deals Oz-Europe, like $3,700AUD in June. (A friend paid almost that in QF Y-class when she had to travel at quite short notice.) Only catch was you had to buy at least two tickets...

Anyway, lets hope EK does join Star, they would be a great addition. Speaking of plugging holes in alliances, what is the consensus about South African Airways? All the alliances are very weak in Africa, and SA would be a great fit in many of them - any predictions which way they will jump, or do you think they enjoy their independence?
