With just under two weeks left to redeem Diamond Club miles for Star Alliance flights, bmi has sweetened the incentive to burn your points now with a 20% bonus on purchased miles. If you are just short of another award (like I was), take advantage of this offer. The miles posted in about six hours for me.
Next week I will do a final post on maximizing Star Alliance award redemptions on bmi, but for now let me share with you what I booked ...
Happy 15th Anniversary to Star Alliance!
What began at a small office near Los Angeles International Airport in 1997 as a union between five airlines hoping to better cooperate has become a global force to be reckoned with; the leading alliance with 27 airlines from around the world.
Stop and think for a moment what Star Alliance's pioneering work has meant for travelers like you and me. Reciprocal frequent flyer benefits including lounge access, upgrades, and award ...
While I previously attended the oneworld MegaDo launch party, I was able to secure a space to the Star Alliance MegaDo 4 Launch Party as well. Even with technical difficulties in forming the initial RSVP thread, when Gary announced the launch party, it filled within 40 minutes, while the OWMD party took a couple of days to fill.

Over the past year I have been to Star Gold lounges all over the world, and I think the best lounge might not be where most would expect. Most would assume one of the world’s five star airlines would have the best lounges. Star Alliance has Singapore and Asiana and both have very nice ...
I’m going to miss bmi! I knew it was coming but it was very sad to see the Star Alliance logo taken off the bmi webpage. I moved to the UK a little under a year ago, and bmi was my UK airline, connecting me to the rest of the Star Alliance network. My home airport is Manchester and Lufthansa had bmi operating some of their flights to FRA and MUC, these were true LH flights but on BD aircraft with BD crews. LH had flights to/from Berlin to London, and FRA to Birmingham also op’ed ...
It's 6:00a here in Philadelphia and I still haven't gone to bed yet--I've spent the last three hours on the phone with British Midland International's Diamond Club award redemption center. My goal: burn my remaining miles in a cost-effective manner. So far, so good.
But that's not the point of this post. I've confirmed now with three Diamond Club agents in the UK that today is the last day to burn miles for any Lufthansa group carrier using bmi miles, but NOT the last day to redeem on ...
