Star builds alliance with meeting organisers

SYDNEY ââ¬' Star Alliance has expanded its Conventions Plus product offer to include travel arrangements for major cultural and sporting events.

Star Alliance Conventions Plus allows event organisers to access the entire alliance network through one of the member airlines.

The organiser also receives a support programme which includes tickets and promotional assistance.

Delegates are entitled to fare discounts ranging from 10 to 20 percent, depending on the type of fare, class of travel and airline used.

Travel can be either in Business or Economy Class, and one companion may also travel on the delegate fare discounts.

Delegates enrolled in any of the Star Alliance member airlinesââ¬â¢ frequent flyer programmes are able to earn miles or points on their tickets.

In order to qualify for Conventions Plus, the designated event must be of a global scale, with a minimum number of 500 international delegates from at least three different countries and two continents.

The lead time to the event should be at least six months.
