Oneworld's major partner in Asia is Cathay Pacific. IN North America American Airlines. In Europe British Airway. Each company in the alliance has its own secrets. oProper use of the alliance will make it possible to make the most profitable use of the accumulated miles.

Oneworld also has a Russian participant - S7 or, as they are often called in the old fashioned way, Siberia. S7 is not a large airline by world standards, but participation in the alliance gives it great opportunities. S7 has bases (hubs) in Moscow, Irkutsk and Novosibirsk, and for the frequent-flying reader living in the former CIS, S7 is most likely the most interesting airline. Their miles are useless, but using miles from other alliance members to receive award flights on S7 flights is very profitable, especially considering the extremely low tax fees.

In our extensive experience, the most useful Oneworld miles are British Airways and American. American Airlines has a geographically regional award table (just like United in Star Alliance) and they charge minimal taxes when receiving an award ticket. As we wrote before, these taxes are often so high that they call into question the rationality of using miles to purchase a ticket. Accordingly, you can fly from Moscow to New York for 60,000 American Airlines miles (and in the off-season for 40,000) and fees of about $60. I want to compare with AirFrance where the same ticket costs 50,000 AirFrance miles and 500 dollars in taxes (AirFrance has many advantages which we will talk about later).

British Airways (as well as ANA in the Star Alliance) base their award prices on the actual distance between origin and destination (regardless of region). This makes it possible to make short flights (ideally non-stop) with the fewest miles required. Thus, a flight C7 Beijing-Ekaterinburg costs only 20,000 British Airways miles. The same flight would cost 40,000 American Airlines miles since Beijing is in the Asian region, and Yekaterinburg is in the European region.

Don't forget that British Airways only benefits from short flights(the number of miles required for a flight is not based on the distance between where you are flying from and where you are flying), but for long intercontinental flights, it is better to collect miles from other partners, such as American Airlines. (We'll write more about the secrets of British Airways later.) For example, you can fly American Airlines, collect miles on British Airways, and spend those miles on S7.

INOneworldThere is three status: Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.We will tell you how to get Oneworld status later.

Oneworld is the third largest airline alliance in the world - after Star Alliance and SkyTeam.

Was recognized by the Business Traveler Awards as the best airline alliance in 2004 and named the leading global airline alliance for a four-year period in 2006 by the World Travel Awards. In the same year, it transported 321 million passengers on a total of about 2,300 aircraft.

Following a major expansion in 2007, the alliance now serves nearly 700 destinations in nearly 150 countries worldwide, with more than 9,000 daily flights.

In 2010, the alliance united 11 of the world's leading airlines and over 20 affiliated airlines connecting by air more than 800 cities around the world. American Airlines is proud to be a founding member of this alliance. For six years in a row, the prestigious industry organization World Travel Awards has recognized the world's leading airline alliance.

Mexico's largest airline Central America accepted an official invitation to join the alliance of the world's leading airlines. Oneworld is the only airline alliance that has full coverage of Australia (Qantas) and the only alliance with a member from South America(LAN Airlines).

Alliance member airlines and their divisions are distinguished by a high degree of cooperation in planning, ticket sales, loyalty programs, flight connections, code sharing, and shared use of airport terminals, which reduces costs and allows for the exchange of experience. Members of the alliance also apply uniform operating principles, as far as possible, follow the same policies and use the same procedures, and cooperate in the technological field. The costs of alliance members are optimized through unified procurement.

They offer their customers a network of routes around the world and a range of services that no single airline could offer. This makes air travel more convenient for passengers than ever before. Prices depend on the class of service (economy, business or first) and, what distinguishes this offer from others, on the number of continents visited, and not on the total duration of the route.

This makes travel planning much easier. This offer covers flights from all eleven member airlines or their subsidiaries, covering almost 800 destinations around the world. Explorer - the best choice

for everyone who is going on a trip around the world visiting all continents. It is important to note that alliance member Qantas is the only member of the global airline alliance with an extensive network of domestic flights in Australia.

Every year we flew with S7 airlines to Verona for a ski trip

a gurney, and not only to Verona. We're kind of their regular clients. Typically large
group of several families. The company provided free transportation
sports luggage, namely: skis, ski poles or snowboards, sportswear
clothes, helmet, glasses, etc. There were no problems, except that they spoiled me twice
bugs Once a sports bag got holes through it, rubbed through by something...
holes (the bag costs about $500), they made a hole in the suitcase a second time
Samsonite, we specifically bought lightweight, expensive suitcases for travel
(cost approximately $700). Both times these facts were recorded in
airport after receiving luggage, they were told to contact S7 airline, they said that our
the appeal is considered, after a few months they continue again
consider, in a word, complete rudeness and disregard for clients, now
I will go to court and see the result.
But
all these stories could be considered force majeure, well, it doesn’t happen to anyone, they could
spoil luggage during transportation at the airport, on the conveyor belt, during transshipment, etc.
What does S7 airline have to do with it!?
But
what really got the job done was something else - these are specific scams that the air carrier
practices. Let me give you an example: we are flying as a family, five people, three children, with an infant.
a 6-month-old child, we are invited to register without waiting in line, it’s nice.....
We ask the girl who is not registered to seat my wife and I together so that there is
the opportunity to help her with the child. The girl looks at us with emotion and
invites us to pay extra and fly business class, explains that the extra payment is small,
but it will be very convenient with a child. We
We figure it out and decide to leave the older children in the main cabin and fly ourselves
in business. We quickly redirected to another window to pay extra, we
we approach, pay extra for business class, a nice girl checks us in for the flight,
We get boarding tickets and go to boarding joyfully. We go into the salon and let you in
older children ahead and begin searching for our seats in business class, anticipating
unforgettable impressions of the flight, we can’t understand where these heavenly places are,
We block the passage for all passengers. The flight attendant comes up and sweetly says that
Our seats are not in business class, but right behind it. We show receipts
We try to explain everything, to which we are told that all the seats are occupied, and upon arrival at
airport, you can decide everything with a representative of S7 airline. Well, don’t make a scandal on the plane, otherwise
They’ll also accuse you of terrorism, let’s go to our seats, it turns out this bitch is at the counter
registration also put us in different places. Thanks to the neighbors who came
to meet us and switch places so that the baby and I have the opportunity
sit nearby. We arrive, and they tell us that the surcharge for seats was increased
comfort, although this is not written anywhere and if we were against it, we could not
fly!!! How is that? Ask to be taken off the flight, to take out our luggage??? How is that??? A
Now, they say, go away, you used the service, so the question is settled. But that's not all the adventures with the airline
S7.
In 2018
this year we are flying to ski in Verona, as I wrote above, equipment is offered
for transportation free of charge. We bought special backpacks for boots, helmets,
sportswear, etc. We fly without skis, we rent them. At registration
a well-fed aunty lets one such bag through, which is leaving for loading,
when we lay out the second backpack she asks: “What’s in it?”, we answer that
boots, helmets, glasses and sportswear. She says that this luggage is necessary
pay additionally, as free transportation is offered
exclusively: boots, skis, helmet, goggles and nothing about sportswear
written because they changed the transportation rules. Sorry, this is not our first flight.
a year, before it was possible, now it’s impossible, then why was one bag allowed through? One
in a word, the aunt starts yelling, calling some big guy for help. Good that
I found a correspondence on the phone with the support service of this wonderful airline S7, where it was written that
sportswear is allowed, and the address from which I received this letter is
S7 airline customer support service address. The gloomy man looked at the answer
his airline reluctantly gives the go-ahead for our luggage to pass through.
Do you think
this is all? NO.
We order
with friends tickets for 2019, I’m not a fool, I’m writing a request to the support service,
Can sportswear be carried or not? Well for next time
Show this letter to the evil auntie at registration. They answer that it is possible, we are booking
tickets. How thoughtful am I, right? Hera!!! This year at registration we
they say that they will not accept our sports bags for free, since we are flying without
skis and ski poles!!! That is, we have a shortage!!! They have it written that
free skis, poles, sportswear, helmet there, and since we don’t have skis,
pay!!! So who is smart??? Who is the best money maker in the world??? This -
AIRLINE S7! Guys
creative! And they send us to a company representative who says that
now it’s like that, but what we didn’t understand is our problems! My letter about sports
doesn't roll clothes, it's about skiing
there is nothing! I write a complaint, they register it and send me on my way
difficult, expensive, difficult. Backpacks are not suitcases, so we pack away the extra weight
for suitcases, thank God, space and weight allowed. For 1500 rubles we wrap two
bags are wrapped in film and checked in as one baggage.
But the most
wildness is the mocking response from S7 airline to my claim, which I received today! It turns out I
I could have done all this for free, but in fact I paid for the luggage myself, and since now
It is not possible to determine its contents... go along the difficult road,
expensive and difficult. LIKE THIS!!!
I often
flew with this airline, not only that, my friends flew with me, several times
once a year. Guess which airline I'm flying with my friends to ski
in 2020? Right!!! ANOTHER!!!
I don't
I say that every time I came across this, but this is an extreme case.....
from now on without me.
Like
the theater begins with the hanger, your vacation begins with the air flight! If you want to,
so that your holiday begins with a good mood, and not with an unpleasant aftertaste
to the soul of a person who has once again been scammed, choose another airline!!!
