The 3 Major Airline Alliances: Star Alliance, oneworld and SkyTeam – Why Are They Good?

The three alliances are heavily influential across the commercial aviation spectrum.

The cheapest flights with American Airlines start at 7,500 miles and with partners at 5,000 miles.

Across all the major alliances, many of your benefits are transferrable.

Simple Flying takes a look inside the oneworld carrier’s North American network, its switch to Avios, and more with an exclusive interview in NYC.

Finnair Plus has four elite tiers, and offers good benefits including upgrades.

Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphires are the tiers to strive for within the oneworld Alliance.

China Southern Airlines was the first of China’s big three carriers to join an alliance, but also the first to exit.

Using Avios for flights with Finnair and oneworld partners gives the best value.

A merger will bring together two great loyalty programs – as part of oneworld.

The two new cards offer a simple way to earn elite airline status and collect Avios, which can be used for redemptions across airlines worldwide.
