Airline Alliance

A group of airlines that share ticketing, baggage, and frequent flyer benefits.

Full definition

The three major airline alliances are Star Alliance (United, Lufthansa, ANA, Singapore, EVA, Air Canada, Turkish, and 20+ more), Oneworld (American, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, JAL, Qantas, Iberia, Qatar, and others), and SkyTeam (Delta, Air France/KLM, Korean Air, Aeromexico, and others).

Alliance membership means you can earn and redeem miles across any member airline. Example: fly Lufthansa but credit miles to United MileagePlus; book a United Polaris award with Aeroplan miles. Alliance partnerships create most of the best award redemptions.
