Seamless skyteam integration

[dbaker]

I flew a joint CO/AF itinerary on the first day of Continental's public Skyteam membership and experienced a seamless integration. Continental was able to check me in (with a seat assignment) for my AF flight and the miles have posted to my Onepass account:

09/16/2004 AF 5036 CDG-FLR 1,226

As of September 2005, however, KLM still does not seem to get the Skyteam idea. A joint CO/KL roundtrip itinerary booked on continental.com from Guam to Amsterdam via Honolulu and Newark had to be paper tickets for the whole itinerary because of a KLM operated segment (Continental 9693Y) between Bucharest and Amsterdam with no KLM seat assignment or KLM upgrade available.
