There are also other promotion not listed on the forum but is in the link, and the link can be updated at any time.

So do I have to reach 30.000 miles until the 30. September 2012 or do I have to earn 30.000 between now and the 30. Sep 2012? Because I already have earned about 20.000 since Feb beginning this year and have a few long hauls coming up so I would make the 30.000 mark in December this year. So would that give me Gold?

Welcome to China Airlines in the SkyTeam Alliance !

There are photos of the Skyteam alliance CI ship, a 747-400 B-18206 is the reg. of the aircraft. There are pictures on the Korean Air facebook page.

Welcome CI to Skyteam. If they will come up with a ST livery on one of those 747's, that will be something alright...;)

Already done -

Looks like CI modified their logo to accommodate the SkyTeam logo on the right.

The 744 ST livery aircraft looks a bit white? Or is it the lighting, because I'm pretty sure it's surppose to be Silver

Finally, I don't need to fly to Tokyo to go home to Taipei.
