Turkish Airlines, US Airways, Lufthansa, Air Canada, and beginning this summer Air China are partners for the Star Alliance. We are gaining revenue when they fly to IAH and connect to United Airlines. Asubrt get you fast straight before know what is happening with United. The big threat to United Airlines not Southwest with 5 gates for International gates! The big treat is Emirtes, Qatar, their governments pay for their fuel. United spends $25,000 a second for fuel and are heavily taxed by our governments.
