Hi again
I checked the * alliance board and found the discussion although it is quite short
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum82/HTML/000206.html
The article at
http://www.btonline.co.uk/bustrav/co...l.ez?REF=10015
seems quite specific. I wouldn't have thought it took rocket science to devise a conversion chart from existing schemes to a new MEGA * Alliance scheme.
I couldn't find a press release at the Star alliance site - perhaps it is being kept secret for the time being. What makes you think Rudi that this will not eventuate this year?
I hope that it does eventuate this summer - if only on an opt-in basis. By mixing my Ansett, United, Mexican, Lufthansa and Varig miles/points I should easily be able to travel to Europe!
cheers Peter
