Introduction to SkyTeam, Star Alliance and Oneworld

The world of aviation is united by three major global airline alliances: SkyTeam, Star Alliance and Oneworld.

How to Join

Becoming a part of these prestigious alliances is a straightforward process. You’ll need just one airline frequent flyer number from one alliance to earn and redeem points with all the member airlines within that alliance. Keep in mind that each flight booking can only utilize one alliance card, and each passenger should have their own frequent flyer number. To ensure you earn points, passengers should provide their frequent flyer numbers when making a booking. It’s actually beneficial to stick to one airline’s frequent flyer number from one alliance and use it consistently, even if you’re flying with different airlines within the same alliance.

Benefits of Becoming a Frequent Flyer

The advantages of joining a global airline alliance, whether it’s SkyTeam, Star Alliance, or Oneworld, are numerous and rewarding. Passengers can accrue and utilize frequent flyer miles across a diverse array of member airlines, leading to faster accumulation of rewards.

Accumulated tier points pave the way to higher tiers within the program, unlocking a host of valuable privileges at every stage of your travels. These perks may include increased baggage allowances, priority services, access to luxurious airport lounges, upgrades in travel class, or even in-flight internet connectivity. Your journey becomes more comfortable, efficient, and enriched as you ascend through the tiers, making every flight a truly rewarding experience. Remember to provide your frequent flyer number when booking to ensure you earn points and maximize your benefits.
