RE: Swiss airline reportedly agrees with British Airways on alliance

No… my understanding was that BA didn’t fancy Swiss, as their networks were to similar, and they didn’t want another ‘large’ European airline talking AA/CX/QF transfer pax off them within Europe.

But it’s logical when you think about it: LX already codeshare with BA on LHR-BSL, Finnair on GVA/ZRH/BRN-BSL-Helsinki, EI on ZRH-DUB and GVA/BSL-LCY-DUB, AA on BSL-BRU/ZRH and from connecting flights from AA’s gateways in the US, QF on SIN-Oz flights etc etc.

All I can say is… about bloody time. Now… can I merge my Qualiflyer miles with my Executive club miles… (I fear not 🙁 )
