Continental have been a part of the "Sky Team" which includes Northwest and Delta.
However, Continental will become part of the Star Alliance, which includes US Airways, United and Lufthansa after 25OCT'09.
Because Continental wants broad code-sharing and other commercial cooperation with United Airlines.
Once the changeover takes place, customers will be able to earn and spend miles in both United’s Mileage Plus and Continental’s OnePass programs.
Travel on either airline will count toward elite status in the flyer’s preferred program, and members of one airline’s airport lounge plan will have access to the lounges of the other.
