Airline alliances

oneworld alliance

We are a member of oneworld along with American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Lan Airlines, Malév, Mexicana, Qantas and Royal Jordanian.

As a member of oneworld we offer you:

• an extended route network of around 700 destinations

Franchise partners

We have relationships with independent airlines based in South Africa and Scandinavia that use the British Airways name, livery and flight code. They operate to our high standards of customer service, quality and hospitality.

Codeshare partners

We offer codeshare services on selected routes with all oneworld member airlines as well as routes with Aer Lingus, bmi and Flybe.

• Codeshare flights have two codes - the British Airways flight number, as appears on your ticket, and the flight number of the partner airline operating the service.

• You will be advised which airline operates the flight at the time of booking.

• We work closely with our partner airlines to provide a level of service that closely matches our own.
