Lately we’re not seeing a whole lot of action with the “big three” global alliances, when it comes to airlines being added, at least compared to a decade or two ago. So along those lines, there’s a pretty awesome development, as oneworld is getting yet another new member, and this time one based in Asia.
As it’s described, this will give oneworld flyers access to Philippine Airlines’ domestic and Southeast Asia network (and beyond), while it will be transformative for the airline, fueling a stronger presence on the world stage, increasing passenger flows, enhancing loyalty offerings, and delivering greater efficiencies.
With Philippine Airlines joining oneworld, it’ll be possible to earn and redeem miles with all oneworld frequent flyer programs for travel on the airline, and also to take advantage of oneworld elite perks on the carrier, ranging from priority check-in, to lounge access, to preferred seat assignments.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
