Travel is My Life; Work and Pleasure

Continental Airlines have just received a tentative approval from the US DOT (Department of Transportation) to join the Star Alliance Group.

IMHO (in my humble opinion) Conti is the strongest airline player in the Sky Team group of airlines;  guys, lets be honest; I hardly saw you flying Aero Flot, do you still trust Alitalia to fly? :) lets be honest from 1 to 10 dont we all suffer on an Air France flight…. 

How can one compare the quality of service of the skyteam to the great group of StarAlliance; Thai, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, SAS, Austrian, United, Air Canada, Swiss, All Nippon…

As i was saying, Continental Airlines will soon leave the group and join the strongest airline group the Star Alliance.

For some of us its good news, but for those who fly a lot and keep 2 major millage accounts, thus, one in each group: Star Alliance - Lufthansa and SkyTeam Conti, what would you do now? where will your miles go? will they allow merger of accounts? what about status match?

If to say something good about SkyTeam is that they have a much nicer website - more appealing, business minded, action orientated.

I will keep you all posted with the situation, and if you need any advise please do not hesitate to contact me in regards.

Aren’t you fed up with this stupid behavior that you are asked to take off your shoes for security?

Security is for everyone? not really;

I have just visited Jordan; I was wearing Nike sport shoes and was not asked to take them off, though, my wife who was wearing high heals was asked.  I stood aside and looked at the other passengers; its very funny - i wanted to film, but was not allowed;

Everyone who had sport shoes was allowed to keep them on, all others had to take theirs off, even people from India who wore flip flops…

“Assumption”: Nike, Addidas, New Balance are anti terrorist shoes… and there is a chance a gun will be hidden in flip flops; where exactly?

Idea; come without shoes.
