Interesting Article from London Times on DL eyes VS
http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/...cle1170291.ece
It appears that DL makes an offer to SQ for the VS stakes, TPAC JV between DL, KE, and SQ would be a fantastic coup :D. |
Would certainly make a nice addition to the SkyTeam network, though I think some of my Virgin friends may be less than happy.
|
It would be nice to get VS back. Can you imagine to use the VS lounge @ LHR with your SM card :eek: With the BMI deal going to BA and a long road into joining *A it might be the best for SQ to sell. With the Delta network in the US and the KL/AF network in Europe it might work out just fine.
|
It's got my vote. MIA-LON direct again.
|
Would LOVE to earn MQM or be able to redeem on SQ flights!
|
I loved redeeming on SQ right after the merger. Five RTs to Asia, although one technically was a RTW of sorts for the same mileage, all but one using IFC with the last in business class throughout. It was the best value for DL miles I ever expected to see. To make it better, DL had better award inventory than SQ gave to its *A partners.
It's a dream, but I would love to see SQ join SkyTeam or renew a partnership of some sort with DL. |

Would love to see this deal happen. Virgin Atlantic would be a great addition to SkyTeam (and it's about time another 4-star airline was added). Hope Branson decides to sell! |

Having VS as a JV between DL and AF could actually be interesting. Hopefully change #1 would be discontinuing Delta service to LHR and instead have VS be the sole operator from LHR to the States.
#2 ... Maybe the VS Clubhouse head executive would take over looking after SkyClubs? ;)

Is been roughly a decade since DL and SQ were partners; nothing contemplated here is going to re-activate that. |

You should be able to view it by googling "Delta in Talks to Buy 49% Stake in Virgin Air." But it says nothing more than that they're talking... No details.
