Thanks for your response. My own research has also shown Star Alliance offers cheaper fares than SkyClub; however, I am surprised you are finding their fares cheaper year-over-year. Oh how I wish I had not thrown my support behind SkyClub/Delta the past two years--I anticipate Plat by year end and have no desire to even fly with them next year given some of the negative experiences.

Hope you have a great trip!
