Heard that CO is changing from Skyteam to *A by the end of this year, is it true?
And is it still worth to join their onepass FFP?

There are dozens of topics about this, yes it is true, timeframe looks to be about 8-9 months as they are starting flights to LH hubs then.
If OnePass works for you it is worth joining.

I'm a bit confused -- what LH hub does CO not fly to now?

Nov 1st CO starts IAH to FRA.
It is not that they did not fly to FRA before, but it was with less capacity and not direct from IAH and EWR(just EWR)

Not to forget MUC which is way nicer than FRA and has a good choice of flights as well. FRA selection is wider though. Also, no CO flight to DUS but a LH flight out of there to EWR.

IMO, MUC on *A is the best airport in Europe for quick/hassle free connections.

For me its a game changer and Im out in 2009 to FlyingBlue. I expect EWR-CDG to go to 2x 767 and 757

what do you guys think ?

Being in Paris certainly understandable.

AF is the dominating force there other than a few partners.
For ME CO flies the routes I need when I need them.
