What is an Airline Alliance?

An airline alliance is an arrangement between certain airline brands within the aviation industry. Alliances not only improve a passenger’s experience, but they also allow airlines to better facilitate inter-airline connections—offering more routes to more places. Travellers will save time and money while enjoying wider access to their hard-earned frequent flyer benefits, even when flying with other airlines. And airlines will benefit from extending their service to a larger network of consumers. It’s a win-win!

The 3 big airline alliances are Star Alliance, SkyTeam Alliance, and OneWorld Alliance. And although OneWorld is the smallest of the three, it still might be the best airline alliance for you. Jetsetters choose an alliance by weighing the pros and cons of each based on individual circumstances. Things to consider might include where you live, where you fly, and which frequent flyer memberships and travel rewards programs you currently subscribe to. Each traveller’s priorities are just as unique as their journey, so it’s important to learn the details before pledging your loyalty.

OneWorld Members

OneWorld members each have frequent flyer programs that will translate to equivalent levels on OneWorld’s priority tiers. There are 3 levels of priority: Ruby privileges, Sapphire privileges, and Emerald privileges.

OneWorld Ruby:

• Access to Business Class priority check-in
• Access to preferred or pre-reserved seating
• Priority on waitlists and when on standby
  

OneWorld Sapphire:

• All the above, plus…
• Access to Business Class lounges
• Priority boarding
• Extra baggage allowance
• Priority baggage handling

OneWorld Emerald:

• All the above, plus…

• Access to First Class priority check-in
• Fast track at select security lanes
• Additional baggage allowance and priority baggage handling

OneWorld also rewards loyalty with its ‘Co-Location’ service, providing smoother transfers and connection for passengers travelling across member airlines. The alliance has airports worldwide with combined ticket offices, check-in facilities, and over 650 lounges to serve its priority tier holders. And OneWorld has more codeshare agreements and connecting flights between airlines than any other alliance.

Where Does the OneWorld Alliance Fly To?

OneWorld operates flights to more than 1000 destinations in over 170 countries worldwide. So wherever you’re going, finding OneWorld flights to get you there is easy.

British Airways has a prominent presence at both Gatwick and Heathrow Airports, making it simple to find flights to London within the OneWorld network. Toronto flights and Paris flights are also popular routes amongst OneWorld’s international travellers.

When booking OneWorld flights, you can quickly increase your savings on those by bundling with recommended hotels near the airport, like the convenient hotels near SFO, hotels near Stanfield Airport, or these Leeds Bradford Airport Hotels. Booking on Expedia.com.au means you’re booking travel like a pro, because not only will you get more significant discounts on all your reservations, but you’ll also maximise rewards earned from OneWorld and Expedia Rewards.

Where Does the OneWorld Alliance Fly From?

Due to the 13,000 flights that OneWorld operates daily, it’s not hard to find OneWorld flights from most airports. However, some airports are hubs for some One World airlines, while others won’t offer many choices.

American Airlines has a dominant hold at Los Angeles International Airport, with plenty of flights from LAX to choose from. British Airways makes finding OneWorld flights from Heathrow Airport simple, with them being one of the largest airlines operating there. When taking flights from Vancouver International Airport, you'll experience the Fast Track security lanes available in the international Terminal, plus the choice of 3 premium lounges throughout this airport.

With OneWorld, you will also benefit from the many affiliate airlines available within the network. For example, Jetstar is the value-based wing of Qantas, so they also have codeshare agreements with the OneWorld airlines, including American Airlines, Finnair, Japan Airlines, and of course, Qantas. What does this mean for you? OneWorld can offer flights to destinations that aren’t directly included in the 14 member airlines thanks to these partnerships.
