Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Since the merger isn't expected to get final approval until probably after you started the trip. And DP has stated that US will leave Star 3-6 months after that. I think you should be safe.
Interesting on the 3-6 month time frame. I assume that you'll be able to book out beyond 3-6 months on star Alliance partners assuming they still haven't left? Was thinking of a trip to Asia via Europe next fall and would like to book it this Oct.
