Conventions Plus
Conventions Plus is Star Alliance's tailor-made conventions product and was first launched in 2002, aimed at providing simplified travel solutions to convention organisers. The main benefit for the organisers is the fact that they deal only with one airline in order to set up an event, rather than with several. As part of this product, discounts for delegates ranging from ten to 20 per cent are offered, depending on the type of fare, class of travel and airline used.
