Star Alliance continues to be the premiere alliance when it comes to technology integration, and with this announcement they cement their status as the most transparent airline when it comes to award space availability.
Before this update, the best way to find space was by searching directly on Star Alliance websites like united.com and others.
One can only hope that Skyteam Alliance and Oneworld will view this news and follow suit by opening up their availability online… but I wouldn’t hold your breath.
