Airline Alliance FAQs
Why are airline alliances important?
Airline alliances are important because they allow for further reach and a great option of flights through codeshare agreements. They also give passengers more opportunity to earn frequent flyer points that can be used across multiple airlines in the same airline alliance group.
How do airline alliances work?
Airlines alliances work by airlines having a agreement that allows them to facillate codeshares and other agreements under the same marketing and branding strategies. For example, if you were to buy a flight with a stopover, the first leg of the flight might be operated under one airline and the second leg of the flight might be operated by another airline in the same alliance group, all under the same flight code.
