4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. Why is Asiana Airlines leaving Star Alliance?
Asiana Airlines' Exit from Star Alliance is part of the alliance transition (Star Alliance → SkyTeam) resulting from the merger of the two airlines.
Consequently, existing Star Alliance Gold status will be converted to SkyTeam Elite Plus, the corresponding top-tier status within SkyTeam.

1) Flights on or before Oct 15, 2026 : Enter your membership number during booking, ticketing, or check-in, or claim missing mileage after your flight. (Missing mileage claims are accepted until October 31, 2026.)
2) Flights between Oct 16 ~ Dec 16, 2026 : Accrual is only available through a separate request after completing your flight. The request process will be announced in a future notice. (Miles for flights in this period can be accrued until December 16, 2026.)
