    wow that's shocking! Certainly did see this coming but this is very good news for jetBlue and even better news for the Star Alliance. Star has no presence at JFK and this will give LH and other Star Partners a HUGE advantage at JFK now. All around this looks to be a win win for all.

    Re: JetBlue agrees to sell 19 percent stake to Lufthansa

    Is it possible that jetBlue may join Star Alliance or is it too early to tell? Or is it just simply a codeshare?

    Hmm, that seems odd, why would they put themselves in a position to basically recruit an airline to star and not take that path?

    tommy, how does star alliance not have a presence at JFK? the list i know includes:

    Asiana
    Air China
    ANA
    Austrian
    LOT
    Lufthansa
    South African
    Singapore
    Swiss
    United
    and technically, US Airways.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    The only domestic cities served by Star at JFK are IAD, SFO, LAX, LAS, CLT, and PHX......You call that large domestic presence by the Star Alliance? This is a great move by LH, if B6 joins star it will be a huge boost for jetBlue and to all those intl airlines you mentioned.
