Airlines have teamed up so that the consumer can benefit. By having compatible loyalty schemes and code-sharing the airlines hope to build customer loyalty to their alliance. As a frequent flyer it is useful to know who is working with whom, so we have devised the list below.
We recommend you visit the different alliance websites for detailed information on what they have to offer you. It may be worth joining one of their frequent-flyer programmes…
