Guys,

I was just checking the SkyTeam website (http://www.skyteam.com/) and I've seen that SAA is not a part of the SkyTeam and that we do have codeshare flights with them, why is this? Any special reason? (Just wondering)

Thanks for your help and the info!

Cha cha!

For the time we DO have codeshares with South African, because the real Delta codeshares with SA. However this real world codeshare is likely to end when South African joins Star Alliance at the end of this year and moves their ATL-CPT/JNB flight to IAD, United's hub.

Enjoy SAA while you can. The Q4 2004 schedule update (which will probably get done this week) will no longer have SAA, but instead one or two new codeshares.

Cheers!
