OT: Skyteam goes GLAM!

TAROM is joining Skyteam as an Associate Member (whatever that means). Oneworld should have pounced when they had the chance

More predictably, Copa (Central American focus), Kenya Airways and Air Europa will also be joining.

MRs to Bucharest. Oh, the possibilities...

fabulous news ! hope that 'associate membership' means other skyteam elites wont be demanding reciprocal access to our lavish lounges.

Perhaps they can now merge with AF/KL and rename Flying Wotsit to Flying Pink instead...

Seriously, they're decent!

Never flown them, but I've got a couple of friends that visit BUH every now and then and they consider TAROM to be a nice little airline.
The 18/19 smiley faces on carsurvey.org (which is usually full of people who moan) aren't a bad sign either.
Nothing too GLAM, of course , but a few more options are always welcome! Pink elite card you say, mmm I'll have one!
This move is a direct result of the only unallied decent-sized airline in the region being unable to meet Skyteam standards.

If they did, that would be the only good thing to come out of the AF/KLM merger for FD members
