Just a reminder that 14MAY07 is the 10 year anniversary of the formation of Star Alliance.
Ansett Australia, MEXICANA, VARIG were the only 3 members that dropped out of the first pioneer of multi-lateral cooperation partnership since 1997.
Star has launched 10th anniversary website with 10000 bonus miles giveaways every month
