RE: Alliances

Well ,
I’m member of both SkyTeam and Star.
On flight service is quite similar.

I have to fly to LAX or SFO roughly 5 or 6 times a year and I have chosen Star for 2 main reasons:

– Mileage prgram is much more flexible. AF has embargos when you want
to get a free ticket and it’s a drag to find a date.
United is very flexible and I never had any problem with them.

– STRIKES !!!!! As you know , strikes are a national sport in our country and I have been stuck so many with AF that I have definitely chosen UA.

I just made an exeption on last Feb flying Delta since I got free tickets from a family member.
