Another link with a SkyTeam carrier. They're gradually partnering with all of SkyTeam, without joining SkyTeam -- or offering the customer benefits that come from being an actual member.
(And while I know this will kick off a new discussion about "maybe they're joining the alliance!", we all need to recall that AVH stated loudly and adamantly that joining any alliance was
