airline partners?
 

Is there some simple list that I can print out that shows which airlines are partners with which other airlines? I know that each airline's website must show such info, but what I'm wondering is whether I can get all that info together on one print-out.

(I imagine, too, that airlines differ on what "partnership" actually means.)

Thank you.

You can look at the alliance sites to get a general idea, but some airlines aren't part of these alliances and airlines will have partners outside these alliances. I don't know where you'd be able to go to get comprehensive information all on one site.

Thank you, Patty.

The reason I wanted this info is that I've got 50-60,000 frequent flyer miles on United, Delta, and American. I'd love to be able actually to USE those miles before they evaporate for one reason or another. I'm determined to "find" somewhere to go for a little vacation this summer.

(But my husband and I are oldsters, and we find flying-- even being away from home-- cumbersome these days. Not sure what I'll be able to turn up that'll sound pleasant enough, but I for sure want to try. Somewhere easy of access from Phila, hopefully where we can do some snorkeling. I'm prepared, though, to find that no ff seats are available.)

Thanks again for your reply.

Do you have 50 to 60k miles on each or between them? If it is 50 to 60k on each, I think you might find something nice. If it is between them - anything below 25k miles is pretty much useless.

Again, thanks for replies.
We have 50-60,000 on each-- but I'm finding that nothing is available for ff seats. Not terribly surprised, but definitely disappointed. Not finished checking, but since I'm not computer-savy, it's all a bit of a chore.

How about Bermuda?

Jul 8 - PHL-BOS-BDA
Jul 15 - BDA-BOS-PHL

2 Delta Skysaver coach awards available. Should be 30K each.

First destination and set of dates I checked :D

Traveling within 20 days will involve a $75 per ticket fee though. But I see some dates available in August too.

Patty-- You are an angel to have done that homework for me-- thank you so much for your generous time. Now (would you believe!) we're thinking of trying to book a last minute cruise--IF I can make air work. We'd be flying out of Phila into Nice, France, and then back from Istanbul. I tried to use our miles, but it seems totally impossible (no surprise). Now I"m trying to see what two tickets will cost-- but I get dizzy trying to sort everything out. (I have another post about connecting times and about difference bet Air France and Delta.) I am pretty much inept at things like this, so I'm not sure whether I'll ever get things worked out-- but I sure do appreciate folks like yourself who not only are experts, but also willing to so generously share that expertise.
Thanks!
