= I do not think Star and Sky has similar coverage in Asia or Latin America. Star is FAR FAR superior in Asia, while Sky has a slight edge in Latin America - though, depending on the program (UAL/DL), you might be able to chose additional Lat Am partners. Sky is super weak in Australia, but with KQ, provides a better reach in Africa then going via JNB on SA and then backtracking back.
