The day is finally here. Today, 1st December, sees United Airlines launch their brand new Polaris product. It was announced some time ago, and is a welcome change to the currently awful business and first class product United provide. Unfortunately, like many US based carriers, United just can’t compete with other airlines that offer a …
I recently flew from London Heathrow to Frankfurt on Lufthansa, and has such a pleasant experience I thought I’d share. Lufthansa are one of my favourite Star Alliance airlines, and I’ve never really had a bad flight on them. I find their planes for the most part modern, clean, and the staff very friendly. Airline: …

Unfortunately I didn’t earn any Krisflyer miles from my Heathrow to Geneva flight as the cheapest fares don’t …

Oh dear. Not the best publicity for Air China and Star Alliance unfortunately. It was discovered today that Air China’s in-flight magazine includes a paragraph warning their passengers that when travelling to London they should take care and extra precautions when visiting areas “mainly populated by “Indians, Pakistanis and black people”. They also advise women to always be …
The recent failures of United Airlines are pretty laughable. They’re my least favourite Star Alliance airline out of the ones I’ve flown, but I always go back to them purely because the reward and tier miles you get credited to your Krisflyer account from them are brilliant. If you credit your airmiles to your United …
One of my first blog posts on TSAF is about an airline I was recently really impressed with and also about one of my favourite countries that I’ve visited, because today JetBlue beings their scheduled Cuba service. JetBlue is a partner of Singapore Airlines, so by flying with them you can credit the miles to …

Hello everyone! I’ve started this site, The Star Alliance Flyer, as I’ve always struggled to find a one-stop shop that provides news and tips solely on Star Alliance Members and Partners. Personally I am a member with Singapore Airline’s Krisflyer, but I fly on most of the other Star Alliance airline members and follow their …
