Key takeaways
- oneworld describes its member airlines' combined network as serving more than 900 destinations in 170 territories, with hundreds of airport lounges. [1]
- The alliance's member page marks each airline entry either "Member" or "Future Member": 15 entries are labelled Member and one is labelled Future Member. [1]
- S7 Airlines' membership in the alliance was suspended effective 19 April 2022, until further notice. [1]
- A frequent flyer programme's partner directory is a separate list: Qantas Frequent Flyer shows 582 partner results for earning and using Qantas Points, covering airlines alongside shopping, hotel and car partners. [4]
What the oneworld member list shows
oneworld's member page presents the alliance as a group of airlines working together so that a trip runs smoothly "wherever you go and on how many of them you fly to get there". [1] Each airline entry carries a status label and two network figures — destinations, and countries or territories served. [1] The largest figure shown against a single airline is 352 destinations across 60 countries and territories, and the smallest is 25 destinations across 14. [1]
| Status shown | Airline entries | Network figures shown |
|---|---|---|
| Member | 15 | Destination and country/territory counts for each airline, ranging from 25 to 352 destinations [1] |
| Future Member | 1 | 69 destinations in 19 countries/territories [1] |
The alliance-level figure is stated separately from those per-airline counts: oneworld says the network serves more than 900 destinations in 170 territories and that members offer hundreds of airport lounges. [1] The member page is also where the alliance keeps a membership advisory, described in the next section. [1]
Which airline's membership is suspended?
S7 Airlines is the airline whose oneworld membership the alliance records as interrupted. oneworld's advisory states that oneworld and S7 Airlines "have agreed to a suspension of S7 Airlines' membership in the alliance effective 19 April 2022, until further notice". [1] The alliance describes the arrangement as a suspension, and describes how long it runs with the phrase "until further notice". [1]
The advisory sits on the same member page that carries the Member and Future Member entries, so the status of an individual airline is shown in one place rather than inferred from other pages. [1]
Alliance membership versus programme partnership
Alliance membership and frequent flyer programme partnerships are recorded in different places. The alliance publishes the airline list and any advisory about an airline's membership. [1] A frequent flyer programme publishes its own partner directory, which is about earning and using that programme's currency. [4]
Qantas Frequent Flyer, for example, describes its directory as a way to "browse our list of partners and discover all the ways you could earn and use your Qantas Points", and the directory shows 582 results. [4] That list includes airlines such as Air France, Emirates, Alaska Airlines and WestJet, alongside non-airline partners such as hotels, car rental companies and retailers. [4] Because a partner directory covers points earning of many kinds, an airline appearing in it is not by itself a statement about that airline's oneworld status; the alliance's member page is the place where that status is listed. [1] [4]
Exceptions and limits
- The suspension has no stated end date. oneworld frames the S7 Airlines arrangement as running "until further notice", so the advisory does not record a date on which membership resumes. [1]
- The future member is listed without a joining date. The entry labelled Future Member gives network figures of 69 destinations in 19 countries/territories, and the label sits alongside Member entries for airlines already in the alliance. [1]
- Per-airline counts are not the alliance total. The 25-to-352 destination figures belong to individual airlines shown on the member page, while the more-than-900-destinations figure is the alliance-level number stated on the same page. [1]
- Partner directories are wider than airline membership. Qantas Frequent Flyer's 582 results include shopping, hotel, car rental and airline partners, because the directory covers all the ways to earn and use Qantas Points. [4]
- Scope. This page covers the oneworld alliance's own membership listing and Qantas Frequent Flyer's partner directory. It does not cover Star Alliance, SkyTeam or the individual frequent flyer programmes of oneworld member airlines. [1] [4]
