A little over a year ago I challenged myself to see whether or not it might be possible to fly on most, if not all, Star Alliance airlines. I wasn't sure whether or not this goal was realistic, only that I know I wanted to try and see what I could do if money and time were available. At the time I was doing all my primary flying on United, so it made sense at the time to see if it was possible.
In short, it wasn't.
I haven't given up on my goal, but have realized that rising airfare prices have definitely impacted my travel habits. Where I could usually find $300 or so airfares across the country, I'm now seeing $500+ fares. As the economy has recovered, the airlines are also recovering their ability to raise prices and hold them out for as long as possible since load factors have continued to increase.
Here's my list - it hasn't changed much:
