Win free Star Alliance gold frequent flyer status

Want to score free VIP status in the Star Alliance airline family? It's your pass to primo perks with Singapore Airlines, Air New Zealand, ANA, Lufthansa, SWISS, Thai Airways, United and other great airlines.

The new Star Alliance Gold Game gives you as shot at joining the high flying elite without even setting foot on a plane.

The online quiz runs through tasks such as matching frequent flyer cards with their respective airline, matching the tailfin of a Star Alliance member with its cabin crew uniform, and correctly packing a virtual suitcase.

Giving the right answer in the shortest possible time is what counts, and there's a time penalty for incorrect replies.

You can also share the game with a friend and get a second chance to play.

The two players per airline frequent flyer programme who record the fastest time will win Star Alliance Gold Status with that airline for one a year.

(If you're already got gold status, you can give the prize away as a gift to a person of your choice.)
