Continental and United announced a code-share agreement, along with the Star Alliance accepting Continental as a member. Read some details in an AP story, which doesn't mention what this means for US Airways, another Star Alliance and code-share partner with United already. US Airways says it doesn't expect any changes in those alliances.
This makes me wonder. We know airlines like these code-share deals because they tend to drive traffic on certain routes, giving both carriers a greater chance to dominate markets. But what benefit have you, the airline customer -- either individual travelers or organizations -- received from the US-UA code-share deal? Just curious. Please let me know what you think.
