Globalpass (which includes Avianca, Aeropostal, Southern Winds and Taca) also partners with KL.

Ooooh, just thought of another one I want.

Service into BUR.

A couple of flights a day from SLC on Delta would suffice.

This will only happen if and when on SkyWest

AUS-LHR would be nice

But I think the biggest gaps are going to be asia/pac, esp. SYD and AUK

Does anybody know anything more concrete about this move by NW?

I desperately want Skyteam to fill the USA - South Pacific gaps. Specifically, give us some good connections to Sydney and Auckland.

It would be nice. having NW as my preferred carrier for most of the last year, very difficult to maintain Gold status when I am posted to AKL for 6 months till Xmas...

An intriguing possibility....

Could NW use the new A330-200s to fly LAX-SYD or are it's legs too short for the route? If not, MH might be a nice stopgap.

Also, concerning the Latin American question, is Aerolineas Argentina (sp?) tied up with anyone else yet?

TAM would be a good choice

With Varig already in Star, I would wish for TAM to be added to ST. GREAT service out of GRU and elsewhere; covers the central and southern part of the continent well. Also goes to CDG for good connections to AF flights.

More than routes some nice RTWs would be good

If they can integrate existing routes using some creative RTWs that would be great. OW has the continent based model and Star has its strengths. ST has been OK with award RTWs but they really should create some innovative paid RTW products. They can generate a lot of incremental revenue this way and make a lot of us here very happy. KLM brings Africa, CO has one of the strongest intnl networks and DL, AF, NW have fairly strong routes. Asian carriers have an OK footprint there. We just need some good RTW ticketing options for ST.
