Extended information:

The main cooperation methods of Star Alliance include expanding the scale of code-sharing (Code-Sharing), point sharing of frequent flyer programs, and linking of route distribution networks. Coordinating with flight schedules, sharing at service counters and VIP lounges at various airports, and cooperating with customers to implement image enhancement activities.

Compared with the complicated cooperation methods between airlines, for ordinary passengers, it is relatively simple to use Star Alliance services. They only need to apply for the independent frequent flyer program provided by the member airlines. Any of them (repeated applications for FFP from different companies have no cumulative effect), you can accumulate miles from flights with different airlines in the same FFP.

In addition, the connecting and extended flight segments that were originally cross-company flights are also considered to be connections within the same company's internal routes, so they are more likely to enjoy more discounts on fares.
