I know we are getting there but it is still sad to think that as consumers we have very little alternatives. It's so fixed in Japan with 2 major players - domestic terminals in KIX, HND, CTS, OKA have 2 sides - one for JAL and the other for ANA. They do have subsidiaries like Air DO works with ANA.

ST is useless in Japan especially if you are mostly flying domestic (there are so many international airlines flying to and from Japan) - unlike Taiwan - CL is ST, EVA is *A and Starlux is thinking about joining OW, so they are fully covered by all 3 alliances. Korea, on the other hand, once OZ is merged with KE, ST is the only alliance there. Apart from Seoul/TPE, PVG is also a ST hub too.

What about LH flying into NGO? I remember our flight was like 10am or something. I kind of recall that most long haul flights leave around that time.

In Europe we still have TK (I see TK as European as IST is on the European side) and A3. LOT is kind of part of LH (at least the M&M part) but they seem to have more autonomy than LX SN and OS. TK and LO are the only 2 airlines that I prefer flying because they don't have the crappy HBO/Y- fare for long haul flights.
