SkyTeam has been putting on a lot of weight during the past few weeks. I heard that China Southern has joined. Aeroflot recently signed on too.

Portugalia seems to be a small airline with ERJs and Fokker 100s. It is not a biggie one way or another, but it will expand the possibilities in the area along with Air Europa, a partner of PGA and another SkyTeam pending carrier.

PGA is a very nice airline. Great service! The lounge at LIS is one of the nicer ones in Europe. This is a welcome addition to ST.

This airline seems to be appreciated (2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 Quality Approved Airline by Skytrax). ^

On their website, it is not possible to book a flight with connection.

Actually, a few years ago I flew Portugalia from Nice - Lisbon and Lisbon - Barcelona. I had never heard of them before, but was pleasantly surprised by the on board experience. It was certainly better than anything here in the USA. I welcome them into Skyteam!

To UA fan:

Your use of the term "Scary Team" is childish and stupid.

I suppose that AA is a member of "ScumWorld" and your beloved UA is a member of the "Whore Alliance".
