Happy Birthday to the Star Alliance!
It has been 15 years since Lufthansa, United, Air Canada, Thai Airways and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) banded together to create what would be the beginning of the most far reaching Airline Alliance in the world.
As part of the celebration, Star Alliance’s CEO, Mark Schwab will be hosting two “Question and Answer” sessions on Star Alliance’s Facebook page. The sessions are scheduled on May 14 at 0800-0900 UTC and 1600-1700 UTC. This translates into 4:00a-5:00a Eastern Time and 2:00p-3:00p Eastern time.
The Question and Answer session can be found on Star Alliance’s Facebook Page.
In addition, Star Alliance has introduced this great video covering highlights of it’s 15 years:

It would be nice if that 15% applied to RTW on miles also, but since that is an airline specific thing I doubt that will happen.
There was also an announcement that there would be a 15% discount on RTW’s…
@ Oliver – So far I’ve seen Lufthansa offering 15,000 miles to the Miles/More Member who flys the most between 14 May and 14 November. Swiss has a contest for tickets to Beijing, but not related. *A website would be worth watching over the next few days.
Are they doing any lucrative promos?
