WHEN KQ joins, it'll be a huge intra-African addition that would make RTW trips MUCH easier.

First Uzbekistan and now Lithuania! SkyTeam may be getting all the ex-Soviet republics. Do Belarus, Moldova, Latvia, Armenia, and Tajikistan have airlines, too? Just think of all the SkyTeam FFers chomping at the bit to get to Minsk, Tashkent, Tallinn, Vilnius, Yerevan, Riga, etc. I'm surprised DL isn't already going to those places, what with their relentless international expansion and all.

Fortunately, nobody has locked up any of the Albanian carriers that I am aware of. I think MIAT Mongolian Airlines is also available. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Folks laugh, but SkyTeam is building a formidable network into some real cash cow markets. Business travel into the former Soviet Union -- from both the West and the East -- is booming, and SkyTeam is building a fortress presence that oneworld and Star can't reasonably match.
