Ask UA Insider: Star Alliance Announcements & Discussions
Hi Everyone, well it’s finally official… Continental is now a Star Alliance member! This marks an unprecedented move from one major alliance to another, and as you might imagine, the amount of preparations that has led us up to this point has been extraordinary. Yes, there’s going to be some bumps as we complete our transition, and we appreciate your patience while we cement everything in place. As usual, we will look to our feedback channels as issues pop up (especially here on FlyerTalk), and will do our best to correct them quickly.
For those of you who want to keep up on today’s festivities, be sure to follow us on Twitter. Information about our Star Alliance joining ceremony webcast and other good stuff will be tweeted throughout the day. Now, for the stuff we couldn't talk much about... until now. I’ll do my best to touch on the big hits. Here goes… Mileage Earning That's it for now. Thanks for your patience while we complete this transition, and we hope you’ll enjoy this new chapter in Continental’s history. And yes, there’s still more to come...The mileage earning charts for our new Star Alliance partners are now posted on continental.com. Shouldn’t be any big surprises here. In addition, you can now add frequent traveler numbers of our fellow Star Alliance members for new and existing bookings. Reward Redemption Lots of updates on this front. Here are the highlights.
Our Presidents Club and Star Alliance Gold members have quite a bit to look forward to...

Thanks, Scott!

Scott,
The site says worldwide lounge access for Star Gold. I assume that needs to be changed. Will domestic restriction be limited to CO/UA/US lounges modeled on the UA/US deal? I.E. Will we be able to access other partner lounges on domestic trips? mucho thanks. |
Fantastic!
Thanks Scott! |
Yes! This is exciting...now just need to figure out the UA upgrades and E+ stuff and we are set!
|
As always, we appreciate the open line of communication you provide between us and CO. Thank you for this update and for all of your hard work over the last several months to facilitate this transition. Also, happy (belated) birthday!

Awesome! Thanks Scott.

Thanks Scott this is Awesome!!
Having extra availability on First class for Platinum rocks. BTW I am on the phone right now trying to book 2 true FIRST (feels good to say that with CO) class tickets to Israel via lufthansa. Agent is still trying to figure out how to book it :) |
Very exciting, Thanks Scott!!
Can't wait to take advantage of *Gold benefits^ |
As many have already said, Thanks so much for the information!
But so far only seeing AC and VS on reward travel to LHR way out, and they are only showing Y awards. Also, looking out into may seeing only UA to SYD, all Y. What about all the other *A partners, nothing on LH at all. |
