Is South African Airways in the Star Alliance or what?

I was checking into flights for July and the United reservations agent indicated that SAA was not in the Star Alliance. I recall last November or December seeing a press release announcing SAA joining the Star Alliance which was to be effective Jan 1, 2005. Anyone know if that got derailed?

actually i think it may have been derailed as i haven't heard anything from the saa reps here and they were talking it up about 6 months ago. wonder what happended?

"one of the most common african animals is the common coolerbok(or coleman's coolerbok). Many have been domesticated and can be found in hunting camps, lodges and in the back of vehicles."

Kathi has roundly chastised me for listing the wrong phone number, so I corrected it above, and here.

Douglast,

I just checked the Lufthansa website under the Star Alliance members and South African Airways is NOT listed.

It was also my understanding that LH and SAA worked closely together.

Apparently not yet.

Cheers,

Gerry
