Delta Seeks Continental, Northwest Pact

Quote:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines (NYSE

AL - News) announced plans on Friday to forge a marketing pact with rivals Continental Airlines (NYSE:CAL - News) and Northwest Airlines (NasdaqNM:NWAC - News), but analysts blasted the deal as a hasty competitive response that will build overlap in the airlines' route networks.

This covers code sharing, FF programs, and clubs.

Royal Crown Clubs, here I come. I will be able to make great use of Delta flights. I suspect that there might not be comparable elite benefits, though, which could be a problem.

Absolutely -- the clubs are a /huge/ part of the appeal of this for me. And I'll get miles again on my dreadful CDG-BSL segments.
