You staunch support for PW HA HA HA!

INDEED!!!!

That’s strange… try going there through an IP scrambler like http://www.anonymizer.com and see if it works.

Ok, I tried going through anonymizer and guess what, it worked. Then I opened up a different browser and tried going straight there and guess what, DID NOT work. This is very interesting and have no idea why I am being denied access.

That’s the best one yet. I noticed that example has a side cargo door. Is this a dedicated cargo aircraft for them, or a combi, or what? I thought Titan just carried passengers.

Which browser are you using?

Internet explorer. I even tried going through UA’s website then clicking on the LH link and it doesn’t work. Perhaps my IP address has been blackballed. 😮

Hmmm – works OK for me, too.

Yeah, well, I’m not going crazy (I think :confused: ) because I just tried it AGAIN and it’s still down, like it has been all week any time I’ve tried to get on it.

I’ve visited Lufthansa.com every day for over a week and it’s been fast and free of any problems until today when their whole site seemed to break down. But you’re from the US, right? I don’t know but it might be that the Lufthansa USA site is on another server and that might have been down.

I’ve tried to go through http://www.lufthansa.de as well, but I get the same results. I’ve also tried different times of the day to no avail. Surely it can’t be my computer, as all other sites I can access just fine.

chill

NO!!!! 😉

Hey, don’t knock it. Most of my flying this last twelve months has been on BD, UA and LH. The across-Star recognition of frequent flyers has certainly influenced my choice of airlines – it brings benefits not only for in terms of miles accumulation, but also as they allow me to use express checkin and lounges regardless of airline and class of travel. Without Star Alliance my BD Diamond Club mileage balance would look a bit sick and I’d be struggling to make gold this year. With Star, I’ve done enough miles for two “free” business class trips to the USA, am closing on a free to Australia, or with a few more trips might even see if I can redeem for a round-the-world.

I’m feelin’ you Skymonster, I’m feelin’ you! I could add on to this, but where do I start? Let’s just say I have 200,000 miles right now, plus have redeemed another 500,000 or so at some point for award travel in the last 6-7 years. Another 1K gets me an around the world flight on business class, so that’s what I’m aiming for. Although, I might redeem and get an award travel ticket at some point between now and then. Anybody can say all they want along the lines of Star is getting too big, and all this other nonsense. These same people, however, have not been in as many Star partner lounges across the globe as I have nor have gotten to avoid 1-hour long queue’s for checking in and for security lines even when flying economy, like I have. I don’t fly for business, either. The more airlines, the merrier.

Just to touch a little bit on route overlap, this is not as prevalent on Star, I don’t think. Besides, I think that 2 or more carriers in an alliance can operate the same routing. They augment each other, if anything, thereby giving the alliance more options. For instance both LH and UA operate ORD-FRA and IAD-FRA, but again, this provides more flights and convenient connections. SQ still operates a FRA-JFK continueing from SIN, even though LH has 4 daily FRA-JFK flights. UA no longer operates the LAX-AKL route, because NZ has 2 dailies, and UA’s planes don’t have to sit on the tarmac at AKL for 12 hours. NZ no longer operates SYD-LAX because UA has 10 weeklies, and instead started the AKL-SFO run which did not exist previously. Bmi tookover one of AC’s routes recently, I believe it was MAN-YYZ or something.
