South African Air and Star Alliance?
Is there any word on when South African Air will _really_ join Star
Alliance. The announcements in 2004 stated "sometime in 2005". I have a flight in February, 2006, and would _really_ like to get the miles onto a useful account (like my USAir or United accounts)!

Some * partners have agreements in place with SA already, but they are individual agreements and not a blanket one. The initial delay was due to a lengthy study undertaken by the S.A. Govt and only when that was finished did integration start. However, once the integration process started, it was found there was a lot more work involved in getting the SA systems up to scratch before integration processes could take place. Last word seems to indicate March 2006 *at the earliest* for SA to become a full partner. |
