ITA Airways, which recently came into the control of the Lufthansa Group, will be moving out of the SkyTeam Alliance imminently and going over to the Star Alliance in the months ahead. Here are the details of the transition.
A new promotion by the newest SkyTeam member airline, SAS, can help you with a million points if you are up for some heavy-duty travel in the coming weeks!
ITA Airways is offering a lucrative opportunity to earn a SkyTeam status match right now, which might convert into a Star Alliance status sooner rather than later. Here is how.

Fly a lot on Skyteam member airlines? You can now start earning even more miles as Hertz becomes Skyteam’s first non-airline partner. However, you won’t get upgraded to a Ford Mustang if you are SkyTeam elite just yet.

Flying Blue has announced major changes to the frequent flyer program as of next year. This will impact all 90 million Flying Blue members, as they get to a different life in terms of earning and burning miles and their status on Flying Blue.
Jet Airways and Delta are now making a new partnership at London Heathrow, along with Virgin Atlantic. This expands the Jet Airways partnership for the Americas across Delta / KLM / Air France / Virgin Atlantic. Great news for the flyers who shuttle half way across the globe then.
FlyingBlue has been out in the public eye, for first offering a liberal status match to their Gold status, and then geographically limiting it to Scandinavia (the original plan), and then pulling out the offer altogether. Miles and Points-holics have been worried if they will get their committed status match or not.
