Airline alliances, such as oneworld, Star Alliance, and SkyTeam, provide numerous benefits for both airlines and passengers, including codeshare flights and shared frequent flyer rewards.
Star Alliance, the oldest alliance, consists of 26 member airlines and offers easy connections to almost any destination worldwide.
Passengers can take advantage of alliances by gaining elite status, which grants benefits like extra baggage, free seat selection, and meals, depending on the carrier and alliance.
