MH in Skyteam?
 

Long time no news. Are there any new if MH is willing to join an alliance, may be ST?

The last rumor I heard was that MH asked for an invitation to join Skyteam, but was "blackballed" by AF.

I simple search on FT can do wonders

AF OK'ed MH joining at least a year ago. MH restructuring plan (I can't find the link right now but it used to be available online) provides for joining a global alliance (ST, we hope) in 2008-2010

For Skyteam partners, such as Northwest.
What benefits do you actually get? Because as a Platinum Elite for Northwest I still experience blackout dates and not having the ability to use the likes of PerkPass tickets on any skyteam partner. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

I've seen the website, there are a few nice perks in there, but I feel as if they're missing the core things when it comes to mileage programs.

However, having Malaysian Airlines as a Skyteam partner could do wonders for a lot of people.

NW WP members can redeem PerkPass (double miles but much fewer capacity controls) on NW CO DL and KLM.

Since when did double miles for waiving most capacity controls become an option for NW WorldPerks members redeeming on DL-operated-and-coded flights?

Can DL SkyMiles members also redeem double miles for waiving most capacity controls for NW-operated-and-coded flights?

I know that last summer this wasn't the case for DL SkyMiles members.

I don't think that has changed, as far as I know and based on what SMS told me, double miles redempton with DL Skymiles is for DL flights only. Hopefully that will change sometime this year...

Oops my bad....no DL yet, thought that I had before but it wasn't....
