Virgin Australia CEO nixes Star Alliance, SkyTeam - Flights | hotels | frequent flyer | business class - Australian Business Traveller
FFS JB. You know what, I don't care if VA doesn't join an alliance, just stop pretending that the VA 'virtual alliance' is anything even remotely close to being as beneficial for your customers as what they would get by VA joining ST or *A. Instead of going around spruiking what a great deal VA's second rate virtual network is, spend some time fixing the gaping holes (i.e. lack lounge access in ports served by VA partners) in using VA or VA partners internationally and maybe everyone will stop hounding you to join *A and you can get on with other business. We moan because the VA experience is miles behind everyone else on this, not because we're attached to one alliance over any other.
