oneworld’s Frequent Flyer Benefits
No matter which oneworld airline’s frequent flyer program you belong to you will find that the
rewards and privileges of membership have been greatly enhanced.
More miles and points
Members of any oneworld airline’s frequent flyer program can earn tier status miles and points on eligible flights that are both marketed and operated by any of the alliance’s carriers - and redeem rewards across that wider network.**
More rewards and recognition
Top tier frequent flyers enjoy many of the privileges that their status entitles them to, across all oneworld airlines. Qualifying flights will also count towards the maintenance or advancement of membership tier status.
How tier status is recognised across the alliance
oneworld offers more opportunities for members of LANPASS to earn and redeem frequent flyer awards and benefit from their tier status - including, for top tier members, more airport lounges to use during their travels.
Because oneworld’s airlines all have different names for the top three membership tiers in their frequent flyer programs, the alliance has created a tier of names, based on gemstones, that are common across all oneworld airlines:
- Emerald denotes the highest tier in any program.
- Sapphire denotes the second tier.
- Ruby denotes the third tier.
To help staff easily recognise top-tier members and identify the benefits to which they are entitled, top tier membership cards issued by all oneworld airlines carry a oneworld gemstone symbol in the appropriate colour.
