WilliaminBKK Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 EVA will join Star Alliance in 2013. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/EVA-Air-to-join-Star-Alliance-30179024.html Nice option for collecting points and using your frequent flyer points on EVA, on BKK-LHR TG will have to be more competitive.

bangkokrick Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Another good airline down the pan. In what way? Same as Singapore or Lufthansa? Lufthansa for a start, terrible food and service. I think that when airlines join the big groups and share flights the standards go west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA already had baggage and transfer agreements with TG and now with the link to Air Canada, North american visitors will have a great option. AC is rated the best carrier in North America (yes I know AC sucks, but look at the crap it competes with.) This will also give US passengers a much better alternative to the dismal service offerings of United and American. For EU travelers, the ability to flawlessly transfer and to Lufthansa and austrian will be a plus. The downside is that I think EVA will raise its airfares.

mrdome Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 The downside is that I think EVA will raise its airfares. Considering the price of oil and the fact that production won't increase, I think not only they will raise prices. I still remember flying to BKK from SFO on ANA for just over $600 return in July of '99. Seems like a dream now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
