By David Flynn, July 14 2017
Want to be an instant mileage millionaire? Star Alliance is giving away 21 million frequent flyer miles to mark the group's 20th anniversary.
The worldwide competition ends on July 31, 2017, with 21 winners each pocketing one million miles in each of Star Alliance members' 21 loyalty schemes – enough for two round-the-world trips in first class.
Entry to the contest is free here – all you need is a profile photo or 'selfie', a photo of your favourite cultural experience, and the membership number to your favourite Star Alliance loyalty scheme.
When uploading your images, you'll merge them together on the competition website to create something like this:
Entries for the competition close on July 31, 2017, with the winners announced on September 28, 2017.
"Each year for 20 years, tens of millions of individuals have been brought together by international travel made possible through the breadth of our Star Alliance network" said Star Alliance CEO Jeffrey Goh, speaking at a worldwide Star Alliance 20th Anniversary media event in Frankfurt, Germany.
The worldwide campaign was supported by activities at many locations around the world. For example, customers visiting one of the six Star Alliance-branded lounges on or around 14 May received special locally-inspired gifts and enjoyed special menu items celebrating the cultures and flavours of the world.
Star Alliance was founded on May 14, 1997 by Scandinavia's SAS, Thai Airways, Air Canada, Lufthansa, and United Airlines – with the five points of the group's star logo also representing each founding member.
11 member airlines fly to Australia, from our neighbour-across-the-pond Air New Zealand and global heavy-hitter Singapore Airlines to Air Canada, ANA, Asiana, Thai and United.
Lufthansa, Swiss and SAS are also popular choices for Aussies flying to Europe via Singapore and Hong Kong.

BTW "across-the-pond" refers to trans Atlantic, "across the ditch" is trans Tasman.

If someone wants to look around the lounge or cabin and feel uncomfortable based on their classist assumptions they make about people I literally couldn't care less about how those assumptions are affecting their travel. Such shallow people. What an absolute joke.
