Did you know?
When the Star Alliance™ network was created, our aim was to build an airline alliance which would improve the travel experience of customers for whom flying is a way of life. To deliver on this promise, we worked to build a truly global network simply because the bigger our network, the more choices are available to you and the better we can look after you. Case in point: we have more than tripled in size in as little as nine years.
But we also believe in sharing the excitement of air travel, of visiting countries and experiencing different cultures. Let's be honest: however complicated air travel can be sometimes, it can also give you a sense of adventure and anticipation.
With 26 premium member carriers from around the world, our alliance provides you with a global airline network and gives you a genuine cosmopolitan experience.
