Miles on Santa Barbara Airlines (S3)
 

Does anyone know anything about the FFP of the above airline? I will be flying them intercontinentally in June... Do they have any partnerships with European or US airlines? Grateful for any info. :cool:

I don't think they have any -- with a FFP website that has the little under construction symbol, there's probably not much of anything there...

Roughly translates to "Excuse the mess -- we're working on this to offer you better service."

Our fleet includes modern and powerful DOUGLAS DC10-30 and BOEING 727-200 aircraft with wide-body cabins that offer more space between seats for a more comfortable and pleasant travel to any of our destinations.

Wow. I have not flown on a modern DC10-30 since the 1970s and early 80s. I have been on a decrepit one sometime in the previous decade. Wonder how they scored such a coup!

guess what?
I am flying the "modern" DC10!
The other day I flew 2 segments on MD80s (same airline). One was literally falling apart, the other was as good as any 737 I've been on. So I'd think condition is purely a matter of maintainance.
I was thinking that maybe they could have some arrangements with Air Europa as the latter operate domestic Spanish flts connecting to S3. Wishful thinking? :eek:
