Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airlines/Affinity programs

Affinity programs, what are they?
I see affinity programs being:
 * Code shares
 * Frequent flyer programs
 * Airport lounge access programs
 * Category:Airline alliances

With the possible exception of the alliances, using common templatees does not work since not all airlines share in these programs equally. Airline 1 may code share will airline 2 but not airline 3. Airline 1 may offer club access with airline 3 but not airline 2.

This leaves open the issue of how to provide this information. The options include:
 * Placing a Category in each article as required
 * Listing these within the article in list format pointing to the main article on the prorgrams (if there is one)

With different programs and members this could amount to a lot of data. It does change, but not all that frequently. Vegaswikian 21:13, 19 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Take a look at America West Airlines and see if that looks like a good way to place this information. Vegaswikian 17:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

I know what it is!

 * Basically... Affinity programs should be the airline Frequent Flyer program. (ex. WorldPerks, Mileage Plus, Flying Blue, Miles & More, Dividend Miles) That's how it SHOULD be.
