Regarding SkyTeam, Continental intends to end its participation in the SkyTeam Alliance after the last scheduled flight on October 24, 2009. They are continuing to work through the details of the planned exit from SkyTeam and entry into Star Alliance, but anticipate participation in Star Alliance will begin promptly after leaving SkyTeam. Continental is committed to providing OnePass members with opportunities to earn and redeem miles over an extensive network and will be working hard with partners at SkyTeam, and future partners at Star, to make the transition from SkyTeam to Star Alliance as smooth as possible. DELTA INTRODUCES NEW ACCOUNT-LINKING, MILEAGE-TRANSFER Delta Air Lines announced that Delta SkyMiles® and Northwest WorldPerks® members now have the ability to link frequent flyer accounts and transfer miles between both accounts at no charge. Members who link their accounts before March 15, 2009 will earn 500 bonus miles. This new feature allows members who have SkyMiles and WorldPerks accounts to visit delta.com or nwa.com, link their accounts and transfer any amount of miles into either account on an unlimited basis. Both accounts will remain open and functioning until late 2009 when Delta plans to merge the two programs to deliver one best-in-class loyalty program for members in 2010. The programs also recently announced that members may earn elite status by flying a designated number of flight segments on either Delta- or Northwest-operated flights. Additionally, SkyMiles and WorldPerks elite members continue to be eligible for complimentary First Class upgrades on both airlines’ flights.
