I dunno. I don't think I can actually affect the way they think about us, and if anything, this just lets the world know how crazy they are.

not to downplay anything, but it's kind of like saying you don't mind if someone wears a big swastika.

What's an email address to email them at?

What about emailing the other SA carriers (UA, CO, etc.) individually and complaining to them as well.

well, as somebody pointed out yesterday on a different thread, they are not the only Star Alliance airline to do this. BMI also did. (but they gave us free luggage as reparations.)

BMI? As far as I remember they just stopped the flight to TLV on Jan 10th last year. That's all.

The complain to *A should be that airlines should not get mixed up with politics.

Look at their map on the their website, it is edited to make Israel not exist.
