Altogether they offer nearly 550 private airport lounges, transport 320 million passengers each year, employ some 250,000 persons and operate a total fleet of nearly 2,500 aircrafts and generate nothing less than a total turnover of over 100 billion dollars!

Awarded the "Best Alliance in the World" for the 2008 World Travel Awards

Very concretely, this alliance signifies a very broad international network for us travellers, the possibility of accumulating our mileage and points for all of the destinations of the network and to exchange them for travel coupons, and access to a greater number of private airport lounges in the world. The system operates on the basis of an online booking reservation tool. The member companies of the alliance add this application on their own website or propose links to this application which is then easily accessible. At the same time, it becomes possible to travel around the world on the flights of the ten member companies of oneworld and the 20 affiliated companies to some 700 destinations in nearly 150 countries!


Planning your trip around the world, just takes a simple click

Drawing up your itinerary has truly become child’s play, and takes a simple click on the destinations displayed on the interactive map of the alliance. The system then automatically verifies flight availability and only displays those flights with available seats for the destinations and dates selected. It also verifies that the itinerary meets all of the conditions applicable for the fare, and proposes a budget estimate for the total trip. Once the itinerary has been finalized, then all you need to do is to pay online by credit card, print a copy of your itinerary and then you will receive the corresponding electronic tickets by email. Happiness is only a click away!
