Russian Domestic Carrier To Join Alliance On November 15th
Russian domestic carrier S7 Airlines says it will become part
of oneworld effective November 15th, offering the alliance's full
range of services and benefits and substantially expanding its
network throughout Russia and the rest of the Commonwealth of
Independent States – in the latest step by oneworld to
establish itself as the world's premier alliance in what is turning
out to be a breakthrough year for the group.
From that date, members of the S7 Priority frequent flyer
programme will be able to earn and redeem mileage awards on all
oneworld partners, which includes some of the biggest and best
airlines in the world – American Airlines, British Airways,
Cathay Pacific Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN
Airlines, Malev Hungarian Airlines, Mexicana, Qantas and Royal
Jordanian and almost 20 affiliated airlines.
For frequent travelers, S7 Priority Platinum and Gold
cardholders will have oneworld Emerald and Sapphire status
respectively. S7 Priority Silver cardholders will have oneworld
Ruby status. All S7 Priority Platinum, Gold and Silver cardholders
will soon be sent new membership cards, bearing the oneworld logo,
to ensure they receive their alliance benefits.
Members of the established oneworld airlines' frequent flyer
programs will be able to earn and redeem awards and tier status
points and receive all other oneworld benefits on S7. The network -
covering 90 destinations and 28 countries, including 45 points in
Russia and some 25 destinations in other parts of the Commonwealth
of Independent States (CIS) - will from then be covered by
oneworld's full and extensive range of alliance fares and sales
products.
