Working in China for half of the year, I have quite an interest in what alliance, if any, Hainan Airlines might join. As arguably China's best airline it still doesn't belong to an alliance. Given that both China Southern and Eastern are SkyTeam (even though Qantas has some codeshare and points agreement with the latter) and Air China is Star Alliance do you think that Hainan might join the One World fold? Of course I have a vested interested this will happen as I want to take advantage of the Sydney-Xi'an flight.
Anyone have any tips? Goss? Wild speculation?
