An interesting observation
Browsing Wikipedia today, it occurred to me that now *A will have major hubs in/near the largest 6 US cities:
1) New York City (EWR - CO)
2) Los Angeles (LAX - UA)
3) Chicago (ORD - UA)
4) Houston (IAH - CO)
5) Phoenix (PHX - US)
6) Philadelphia (PHL - US)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._by_population
Pretty impressive!

Greetings *A,
In doing some research at the *A website I am getting some flights from Italy that seem to be on AirOne (though they are listed as LH flying like Catania-Milan) for example). I know AirOne has a partnership with LH.
Is AirOne in StarAlliance? They are not listed on the *A webpage.
Thanks for any info as I plan for my future non-Alitalia flying and CO connections.
Ciao,
FH

AirOne is a "fully integrated" airline in the Miles & More FFP and therefore a member of *A.

AP is not yet a member of Star - you cannot book AP flight numbers as part of a Star RTW ( although most if not all the LH codeshare flight numbers on AP operated services are eligible )

I was thinking that FlyingHoustonian might be interested in earning OnePass miles while flying on AirOne. In addition to M&M, other Star member airlines' FFP including UA's Mileage Plus allow you to earn miles on AirOne. Presumably CO might follow suit?

* Alliance & AMEX membership rewards
So upon CO entering * alliance towards the end of 2009, will CP continue to accept AMEX membership rewards transfers and if so will this now allow travelers to book AsiaPacific trips (on *alliance partners) via Continental OnePass?

The key question will be if Continental brings in Copa, as that would really provide some Latin American coverage that is just lacking right now, every since Varig was dropped.

Is there a reason for CO not to bring Copa?

interesting comment buried towards the end of the news item
...Continental Airlines and nine Star Alliance carriers asked the US Dept. of Transportation to allow CO to join the group already holding antitrust ............Star said, adding that CO expects to join the alliance in the fourth quarter of next year.
presumably this is based on the much talked about 9 months after DL/NW finalise their merger - first time I have heard anyone dare to give even an estimate of a joining date
