Yeah having looked again at the Star Alliance Africa pass you are right that it is highly profitable to the airlines, while only marginally beneficial to rhe flyer. Apparently they charge a coupon just for the connection through the gateway city. While I'd like to think Sky Team could offer a superior product, these days air service is seemingly a race to the bottom. Ah well.
