Alliances
British Airways was a founding member of the oneworld alliance, which was launched in 1999 by American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Qantas.
The oneworld alliance brings 13 of the world's leading airlines together to provide the highest level of service and smoothest connections to more than 1,000 destinations around the globe. From check-in to security and boarding, oneworld member airlines work together to make their customers’ flying experiences as seamless as possible.
On top of this, British Airways Executive Club Members can collect and spend Avios on eligible oneworld flights and use their rewards and privileges throughout the alliance.
Joint Business
British Airways currently operates four joint business agreements which enable the airline to give more choice to its customers.
British Airways, American Airlines, Finnair and Iberia have teamed up across the Atlantic to make customers’ global travel experience easier and more rewarding.
