Quick earning rate comparison for new Star Alliance partners

With Copa and Avianca/Taca now in Star Alliance the other partner carriers are busy updating their earning charts. Well, some are more busy than others. A couple carriers haven’t updated their earning charts yet, but a number of them have. And, like always, I enjoy looking at the data to see if there are any particularly strange earning rate anomalies or gaps in the programs. Looking at the rates across six different programs there are three which are missing sufficient data so it is hard to know what is going on.

Still, the trends seem to be reasonably clear. Crediting to Aegean’s Miles & Bonus or Ethiopian’s ShebaMiles program isn’t a bad deal if you’re flying in premium cabins. Also, not surprisingly, the lowest coach fares credit rather poorly in those programs. Also of note is that some programs identify Taca and Avianca as the same carrier, some include Taca Peru and LACSA and some list only one of the programs. A bit confusing, to be certain.

Full integration of the data is available in the calculators on the Wandering Aramean Travel Tools site. Some tables showing the new rates are also shared below.
