It depends on how close AI and UA get to each other. If they do strike a deal, then almost certainly yes. If they don't then it will be up to AI to manage the flight on it's own - which will somewhat depend on how UA FFPs find the earnings on AI compared to flying on the UA/ LH JV. |
You have to wonder how UA feels about this whole thing. The UA EWR-BOM/DEL flights appear to be doing great, and one wonders if that will be impacted. UA will certainly hope that AI's reputation will keep the business travelers from defecting from UA. |
There could some defections on the EWR-BOM route which directly competes with AI. But with UA's FFP premier status tied to travel on UA only, this could be limited. Still the VFR travellers who are also FFP on UA now will have a choice, they can choose AI if the price is same or even slightly higher. |
For those not going to BOM or DEL from NYC AI joining star is great. The AI flights allow you to connect to most of india given its early afternoon arrival. Also I know my mom would gladly fly AI (and get miles!) just to land BOM before dark. This way she is free to take a cab home with no safety risk or having to burden family. The NYC area is big enough for UA and AI. To me this is bad for ME3 and Jet. Of the VFR crowd, the US based ones are the most miles crazy but also pay higher fares than indian origin pax. To those that have NYC and BOM as their origin destination the nonstop flights have been a god send. Makes going to india so much better. Having an added choice with AI is great. I really hope UA views AI as a 1+1=3 and not=0.5. AI and UA should control the EWR-BOM market and having both JFK and EWR to DEL is great as well - more choice which is what alliances should give. Here's hoping 9W joins Skyteam and starts EWR-BOM nonstop (ideally DL JFK-BOM again but that's not going to happen). |

Landed at BLR last night on the LH FRA-BLR flight. Had to wait at the baggage belt for an entire hour before realizing my bags had not made it. However I spent the time looking at the baggage tags of the 550 bags that did make it.
* Predominantly US origin, with a couple from Canada (Can make out as all LH US flights start with 4, (like 455 from SFO, 441 from IAH etc.), and the rest were obvious as they were UA or AC flight numbers)
* Hardly any from FRA O&D - Remember seeing only 1 such bag!
* A few intra-europe bags (4 digit LH flight numbers starting with 1)
* Huge number of bags coming via IAD - don't know why! More than half flew UA on the first leg connecting to LH at FRA. Also a large number of ORD origin bags
* Very few bags from SFO - I expected to see a lot of the LH455 tags, but surprisingly few showed up. Don't know if the famed "Bangalore express" has now become Dubai-Bangalore express!
If I were to use my readings from last night's baggage belt as an example, there seems to be a fair amount of IAD-India traffic that AI should tap into with a IAD-DEL non-stop connecting to the AI domestic bank.

I feel AI should launch BLR-DEL-IAD, (on the lines of their current HYD-DEL-ORD), since a) BLR is the only important metro to not have an international connector b) IAD is a given with UA having a base.

LH lost your bags? I must say I am in shock 
Your observation confirms what we anecdotally knew, that there isn't much by way of O&D between FRA and BLR (and perhaps FRA and India in general).
Are you sure the IAD and ORD tagged bags were not double connects whose journey originated at a UA station and transited IAD/ORD on UA to FRA? |

Well - it was United really - that delayed the incoming flight . But yes - first time in all these years that I had a bag misconnect at FRA!

Or perhaps that traffic is soaked up by the MEB3 - who might offer a better fare on India-Europe?

A few of them were double connects - that's for sure. But there were many that were tagged from IAD.

In my experience, there is not that much of difference between the MEB3 and LH when one books from the Europe end. I have found TK the cheapest, in fact.
Maybe there is a difference if one books from the India end, I don't know.
Does anyone know how AI's DEL-FRA terminators are doing?

This must have been easy. They would have to just peel out the off white decal layer applied over the previously applied *A decals, which they had to cover after they got the boots from *A. |

I don't fly much domestically in India, otherwise I'd have switched to AI immediately. Still, hope there are others who will benefit right away. |
Here we go, earnings on UA. Not too bad - the lowest fares earn 50%, rest all earn 100%.
http://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/marketing/custcomm/promotions/Pages/AirlinePartnerDetails.aspx?ItemId=643
Full-Fare Economy Y, B, M, H, K, Q, V, W, G 100% PQM /RDM
Discount Economy L, U, T, S, E 50% PQM/RDM
Also, 500 mile minimum RDM on all fare classes, very helpful given the stage lengths are much shorter on average in India.
For EWR-BOM a G fare works out to ~$1450 and will earn 100%. What does a G fare on BLR-BOM look like? |

Here are the fare buckets showing for AI domestic & International:
Y/6 B/6 M/6 H/6 K/6 Q/6 V/6 W/6 G/0 L/0 U/0 T/0 S/0 E/0 N/0
N seems to be only class not earning miles, while the lower 5 fare buckets earn 50% miles. Not too good (would have like all fares to earn 100% miles like on UA itself), but still decent, and a good incentive for UA FFPs to fly AI on India domestic routes.

| Middle of the pack earning on UA. Not great but defiantly not bad. Earning 125% prem qualifying miles in business is great when UA will multiple by dollar spent on their metal. SQ and Thai are at 100%. If this stands, AI could actually be more competitive then UA in milage plus from a miles and EQM perspective. US-India travelers got hurt with Delta's and UA's FFP changes as for a $1400 fare you earn a ton of miles the old way. Having another airline loop hole is great. I can tell you, we would gladly put my mom on a discounted J class ticket EWR-BOM with AI and she can earn away both miles and EQMs. AI just needs to work on its core customer - the upper middle class Indian that can afford a $3k ticket (instead of $4k+) and is quite happy with the loss of some fancy things inflight in order to save $1k but still get a flat bed, better food and a nonstop to India. |

| So my bad UA will be 150% EQM for UA business flights. So AI will be a little less than UA but more than SQ and TG. |

I think international 'G' fare is more doable. The G fare on the domestic routes appear to be quite pricey, and I guess we will have to settle for 50% (which is better than 0% now).
Last Sunday the AI 77W VT-ALL lined up on 22R right behind my UA EWR-BOG. Looking forward to that being an option going forward. |

I kid you not but I am genuinely looking forward to flying Air India on the dreamliners post-11 July. I am always visiting India due to a neverending line of cousins, neices, nephews etc etc getting married.
Strategy will be to fly Air India, credit to SQ KrisFlyer for aspirational rewards. Preference will be Air India J but Y will do as long as mileage credit to SQ is at around the 100% mark. |

| Same here. Given the miles that I can earn between the US and Chennai, Air India is also a possible choice, though it is inconvenient to go through DEL or BOM. |

So it looks like United is not currently selling AI domestic connections, but is instead selling 9W/S2 connections. Hopefully this changes once AI is officially in Star, otherwise so much for alliance integration.

Well - it used to be a complete nightmare to transit through BOM/ DEL in the past, but we hear DEL's fare improved now for transit, and hopefully BOM's much better too. Given a US-DEL non-stop (which is a mirage outside 2-3 US cities), a one-stop via DEL to MAA on AI is a great option.

This is where AI will have to push and offer an attractive option to UA - and hopefully UA will switch over to using AI on the domestic hops. UA needs to stop selling 9W completely (at least where there's an equivalent AI service) - otherwise the benefits of taking AI into *A are minimal!

The earnings on UA is nearly the same if you credit the earnings to AI's flying returns. In fact for the cheaper fares, on domestic sectors, you get only 25% of the miles on flying returns, while in UA mileage plus, you can get 50% while flying domestic. |

Exactly - right now UA's FFP accruals flying AI are better than AI's own accruals!
There's a chance that AI will rejig it's own FFP program/ earning on the 11th July - I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Do you think AI will release seats for redemption on other star frequent flyer programs on July 11 or will there be a few weeks delay. I am wondering if I can use my UA miles for redemption on AI, immediately. I hope the UA award reservation search engine includes AI. |

Ugh - pathetic earnings on flying returns when flying *A partner airlines in discounted economy - only with UA do you earn 100% miles on the lowest fares  . 50% miles on mid-level economy fares on LH/ LX, and zero miles on the cheapest 3-4 fares on LH/ LX . Even worse with SQ - even the famous "N" fare (the lowest to earn miles on SQ) gets zero miles with AI

AI seems to be losing the plot!

100% on all UA fares! Wouldn't that be an incentive for AI flyers to defect to UA? |

Hardly - given the sorry state of flying Y on UA, I think anyone (AI FFP) with a choice between AI and UA might prefer AI! Plus UA's BOM/DEL flights are not the most punctual nor are they particularly comfortable.
It might actually be the other way around - UA FFPs at ORD/ JFK etc. might prefer to take the AI non-stop!

Hmmm How so? Are you falling for the usual EK hype?
Yes, AI Y once the flight pushes back from the gate can be decent but I would venture that UA is no worse. Flights run on time, 9 across seating on 18.3" wide seats, decent IFE with a excellent choice of international movies (quality Jap, Korean, Spanish plus the usual mediocre Hollywood stuff; perhaps not as much retarded Bollywood stuff as some would like), food especially on BOM/DEL that is customized to the route. Admittedly I have not eaten the Y food - but even AI is not what it used to be.
Now don't tell me FA's are not friendly.  Yes, senior FAs who are jaded and want to do the minimum ply that route. That is a given - but how much does that factor into the overall experience? |

I have eaten the UA food in Y and it is pretty good, prepared by Rajbhog Sweets of Queens. In fact it was better than EK and QR Y. Only the IFE is not good, very few selection of Indian movies and even the English movies are too few.
But if you are a non-US mileage plus member, you are better off taking other star carriers for maximum mileage from next year. |

Let me preface this with "I've not flown AI long haul for ages, I don't know how they are now". However I have flown UA long haul numerous times in the past years, and it's pretty horrible. Again - I'm talking only about coach, I don't know about J.
The hard product on UA is average at best (though Y+ is good), but the attitude of the crew on board absolutely stinks. Not once, not twice, but multiple times - the crew make it clear they are doing you a favor by even looking at you or serving you food. Hardly ever a smile from the crew, hardly any patience if someone has a question. Plus the UA flights are frequently delayed, the food is average at best (the first meal is tiny, though catered by the queens chaps), and the rest of the "food" is just junk. The lounge is extra-lousy (the bartender expects a $ tip per drink served, and there's only some snack mix + carrots in terms of food!), the check-in experience is lousy (all automated, but you need to wait for someone to verify your passport, and tag your bags), even the pax on board are typically "over-entitled" yanks - horrible  . And the worst thing about these long haul flights on ex-CO metal - there's no channel 9 on board (or I could never find it) .
I did forget the bonus miles when flying UA, which will still make UA FFPs stick to flying UA or LH or AC or NH metal. Other than that, for the long haul non-stops, UA is a pretty miserable experience, and I would imagine AI is better. Folks who've flown both AI and UA long haul in Y recently might have a better/ different perspective.

Not seen anything documented, but you should have full lounge access + priority baggage + extra baggage + priority checkin/ boarding with AI domestic.
Any idea about AIX - is that considered part of *A as well?

AI has updated the boarding cards, check in counters and IFE with the *Alliance logo.

The extra baggage allowance could come in handy if you are connecting from an international flight. |

Regarding the baggage issue, passengers should get an additional bag on domestic flights for *G members (15 kg additional). However if you are AI flying returns member you already get 25 kgs. Do we get both or only one.
AI needs to clarify regarding if AIX is part of the Star deal. SQ excluded Silk Air, but Thai included Thai smile and CX included Dragon Air even though they are a separate subsidiary for the oneworld alliance. |

Sorry to change the topic, but what is a "baby changing station"?
The AI lounge in Bahrain has two of them apparently.
and they also have a 'disabled washroom'. Sigh....
The Chicago lounge still offers "Hot Chocolates with a capacity of 113 Passengers" 
The jokers at AI's PR dept still don't know how to edit a website properly. So much for Star Alliance and all that..

Yes I know. What else would you want to change in a baby, in an airline lounge ?
I was commenting about the bad grammar.
