Great post, thanks. But I highly doubt that IB will be a Star Alliance member in 5 months time. Every other airlines needed a lot longer to do all the necessary IT work, change booking classes etc. This is not a trivial task and they would need to start this process yesterday.

Welcome to the OW forum chumbawumba ^. Did you click on the wrong button or what went wrong?

I am not sure why LH would want to invest into IB. Lufthansa just invested into Jet Blue and I don't see the logic behind an investment into IB.
