Skyteam and other travel benefits?
My mother was asking me about what travel benefits I'd have if I ever decided to fly for a major and I couldn't answer her question. It made me start thinking about the skyteam and other groups. Do your family travel benefits work not only through your airline but through whatever alliance you are part of as well?

Also I do believe it is ID 90 and not 95

Each Airline has it's own negotiated pass agreements, so it would depend on who you work for. For instance, my parents can travel on CO, DAL, AA and SWA. There are restrictions on time of employment and the number of passes your parents can use in a year.
