you guys really worry me; I have enough trouble getting an upgrade from ATL to DCA; and now we have AEROFLOT in the mix. Oh well, Mrs. CDF wants to go to St. Petersburg so I guess I better pay attention

I thought it would be fun to bring this 4 yr old thread back to life with news released today.

As far as I am concerned, the more members in ST, the better. Would still like to see more world class carriers like Emirates etc.

Delta recently announced a code sharing arrangement with China Airlines into Taiwan. They also have one of the worst air safety records in the world. Looks like Delta is trying to find all the airlines with the worst safety records and join with them into an alliance!!

I for one will welcome the alliance between DL and SU.Anyone flying from the West Coast will not need to take an entire day to connect in JFK to go to SVO. Does anyone know how long it would be after signing the deal(if the deal gets signed)that we would be able to start taking advantage of SU being a new member to SkyTeam?

I can't believe that the ST partners dropped their demand of a new terminal at SVO. It is one of the worst airports in the modern world. Maybe one day they'll clean up their act their. Pitiful place. As I left there yesterday I was hoping that ST would pull out of SVO and go to DME where BA and others have migrated to. There is no comparison between the 2 airports and the traffic is always horrible on the way to SVO. The MKAD and Leningradski Prospect/Shosse are always packed. Time to get out of SVO ST!!!!!

Oops, if Aeroflot does join ST everyone will have to stay at SVO. Meanwhile, a third airport in Moscow, Vnukovo (VKO), just got a facelift and looks more or less like DME - but not SVO.
