3544quebec: Just affiliated to, not owned by Qantas. Although there was some talk about the current owners News Ltd allowing Qantas to franchise the Ansett NZ network, repainting planes etc. Ended up that somebody wanted too much money...

Should have written Ansett (i.e AN, Ansett Australia) and NZ (ie. Air NZ) but I presumed the Star Alliance readers would have picked that up.

Doing some clean up and then I will post another round of revisions this PM.

Been in Edmonton all day. So far I am still batting 1000 -- 25 upgrades for 25 flights in 1999!

Thanks again for the updates everyone. And thanks Rudi for the URL tip on other threads.

Just reminding about the Star Alliance comparison charts above now that I have learned a good way to put URLs in my messages on Flyer Talk. http://this won't get you anywhere b...t and go there .

thank you very much.

Ever-changing ff-world: UA 1K: the newest "one-way confirmable upgrade vouchers" I got from UA (those valid till march-00) are now good again from/to Puerto Rico for All.

BB: A couple of observations...

SAS Gold: Access to British Midlands EuroClass Lounge at Heathrow.
AC-Elite: Hhonors Silver VIP.
AC-Elite: 2x Maple Leaf passes.

AC-Elite: Crown Plaza, as SuperElite.

Thanks Celestar for 1998 Thai info, I have added Thai info and re-posted the top tier star alliance chart at: members.home.net/deercroft/star99hi.html
the middle tier at: members.home.net/deercroft/star99md.html

The combined middle and upper tiers can be found at
members.home.net/deercroft/starall.html
although this is getting harder to do reasonably in an .html format. I have gone to a slightly different format.

I finally got around to viewing this and what a great job you have all done! Thank you so much for your efforts!

BB: Have you thought of putting a link on the page so people can download the Word document? Easy/faster than email -- takes some of the load from you.

Thanks again -- WELL done...

Thanks for the tip. I am a cyberclutz at file download from my webpage but here goes. This seems to work. Essentially by clicking on the link at the page your word processor should open and then you can use your "Save As" to save it to one of your directories. Alternately you can right click on the link and it should ask you where you want to save the file to.

Note slight url change (not having consistent luck getting my browser clear cache and reload pages so have to change the names). As always, just click on the link.

Changes to NZ AirPoints have been posted to the Air New Zealand forum. I guess it's safe to include them in your chart now :-)
